Popular Hollywood Landmarks - The Witch's House of Beverly Hills

By Zavier Z. Clopp


Just south of Hollywood is the legendary town of Beverly Hills. We all know that Beverly Hills is home to famous celebrities and the most well off, but did you know it is also home to witches? In fact, there is a well know landmark dubbed The Witches House that rests on N Walden Drive in the heart of the city.

The Witches House is really a mini-sized mansion which is being among the most obtuse looking residences ever created.

The beginnings of this house - whose real moniker is The Spadena House - date back to 1921, a real golden age of Hollywood when silent films were taking the entire world by storm. The house was built for a movie studio located in nearby Culver City, CA.

The unique appearance of The Witch's House made it possible for it to stand out from the many other elegant homes in the region. This residence is built like a timeless Brothers Grimm style witches holiday cottage ala Hansel & Gretel. The roofing of the house provides the appearance of being dilapidated plus it points way up in a way that it literally looks like a witch's hat. There is a slope to the walls quite uncommon among houses in the region...and even for good purpose. The way the ways slope the whole property appears to be if it is not structurally sound.

Lastly, of course, what would a witch's house be with a creepy looking picket fence surrounding it? The oddest aspect is a bridge which allows for passage over a moat. Yes, that is certainly right...there is definitely a moat on the property. Why a witch wants a moat is unknown, but it's there plus it certainly assists the property stand out much more.

The Witch's House is definitely one of the oddest sites in most of the Hollywood region.
