Oregon Caves Chateau

The Chateau at Oregon Caves National Monument is a rustic six-story lodge of Port Orford cedar built in 1934 in the Siskiyou Mountains. The best-known legend is of Elizabeth, the Blue Lady, a young woman who died by suicide in the 1930s after a broken engagement and who has been reported in the Chateau and in the caves; the National Park Service has told her story. The Chateau has been closed since 2018 for restoration and was named to a 2025 list of America's most endangered historic places, with no firm reopening date.
