Santarella, the historic home of the sculptor Henry Hudson Kitson, is a a truly magical and unique place! Known as the Gingerbread House, it gets its name from its storybook architecture and incredible roof. The design was the last great project of Kitson's life, and occupied the last 20 years of his life. The property has a history dating back to the late 18th century, when the Tyringham valley was first being settled.

The estate is now operating as a Special Event venue, catering to weddings, family events, meetings and conferences, and other private functions. The grounds are open to the public when they are not reserved for an event. Run by the Hoefer-Brandmeyer family, their goal is to preserve the incredible history and architecture of the property while still making it available for the public to enjoy.
