It was built single-handedly by Moussa Abdel Karim Al-Maamari (born in July 27, 1931), a Lebanese visionary. It is the work of his life. He needed 60 years (21900 days and 394200 hours) of work
the above is general information
now talking about my trip there:
You should pay a visit to it you will enjoy the wonderful structures and the within museum especially the old weapons sections

I was really disappointed about this place, it is a complete farce. You get inside the castle and you walk through several rooms full of ridiculous and ugly puppets which should personify the life stile of an ancient period, but as per our opinion, the target has been totally missed. The only thing which could be nice, is the armoury, the collection is rich of pieces but unfortunately all of them are so full of dust that you almost cannot recognise a carabine from a sword and this is really a pity.

Nice story about living the dream
And as others have said nice models of lebanese culture. Large collection of guns and some other historical items.
Negatives are the price and the state of the collections slowly gathering dust. Plus the graffiti on all the walls etc is appalling.
The money must be spent on maintaining the grounds which are nice. Not sure whether anything is spent on the inside.
Good to stop and get some photos but if you don't go inside you won't miss out.

The children (6 &10) loved it and asked zillions of questions. A must-see for all visitors, whether expats or tourists.

Nice place to visit especially that it is all hand made by one person and it has so many archaic armor and other stuff

On our way to see the Cedars in Shouf and the Heliopolis in Baalbek, we stopped in to tour Moussa Castle. It was a very cool and different museum experience that was quite impressive. I highly recommend checking out this destination if you’re visiting Lebanon.

Few KM before Palace Beiteddine, it makes a perfect stop to appreciate the effort of one in realizing a landmark with history, details and civilization
