The Rinckel Mansion was built between 1874 and 1876 for Mathias Rinckel, a German immigrant who found success during the California Gold Rush and later expanded his wealth through mining in Virginia City. After settling in Carson City in 1863, Rinckel became a prominent merchant and livestock dealer, supplying meat to nearby mining and timber camps. Designed by French-trained architect Charles H. Jones and constructed by European craftsmen, the mansion stands as one of Nevada’s finest examples of High Victorian architecture.
The professionally maintained grounds are beautifully enclosed with wrought iron fencing, enhancing both security and aesthetic appeal. An elegant outdoor patio area, flanked by two pergolas, offers the perfect setting for entertaining or hosting intimate gatherings.
