Talbot Castle

Talbot Castle is a fictional castle residence featured in the "Universal Monsters" series of films produced by Universal Pictures. It was one of the primary settings of the 1941 movie, The Wolf Man.

Talbot Castle was the ancestral home of Sir John Talbot and his family. Following the death of his first son, John Talbot left the estate to his youngest son, Larry, who had been estranged from his family for more than eighteen years. Sir John converted the attic of the mansion into an observatory and installed a telescope. It was through this telescope that Larry learned about and became enamored with a villager named Gwen Conliffe. It was also here that Larry Talbot turned into a werewolf for the very first time after being infected with the curse of Lycanthropy.
