The Voorhies Castle is a Queen Anne style home found south of the Piatt County, Illinois village of Bement. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only non-historic district on the Register in Piatt County. The only other two sites on the Register are historic districts in Monticello. Voorhies Castle, not actually a castle, is listed by the Register as being located in Bement though, in reality, the home is located in the tiny village of Voorhies. The house was added to the Register in 1979.
