When passing through Bellville, you’ve got to stop at two places. First is Newman’s Bakery. This bakery has been serving up some of the best treats in Texas for over 30 years, but that’s not why Bellville finds itself on our list of summer stops. The big attraction here is bakery owner Mike Newman’s medieval castle. Newman’s Castle was built in true medieval fashion complete with a moat, dungeon, and formal dining area. While at the castle you can dress up in medieval attire, watch a catapult demonstration, eat a dinner fit for the Knight’s Round Table, and say a prayer in the castle’s chapel.
