Lemp Mansion: Haunted History & St. Louis Visitor Guide

In St. Louis, the Lemp Mansion is inseparable from the rise and decline of one of the city's great brewing families. Its brick walls and formal rooms stand near the former Lemp brewery complex, where lager production became an industrial empire. The mansion's later reputation for tragedy and ghost stories has made it a familiar name in American haunted history, but the fuller story begins with immigration, beer, and nineteenth-century St. Louis.
