For generations, Overnewton Castle has stood as one of Melbourne’s most distinctive historic estates rich in character, history, and memory. Beyond its striking architecture, the castle has been the setting for countless weddings, celebrations, and special moments shared by the community.
Now, as the property changes hands, a remarkable opportunity has emerged: the contents of this iconic residence are being offered to the public through Abbeys Auctions.
This is not just another auction, it’s a chance to own a tangible piece of local history.
A Collection Steeped in Story
Inside the castle walls lies a diverse and fascinating collection, reflecting decades of life within the estate. From traditional furniture and decorative homewares to unique curiosities and functional pieces, each item carries a sense of place shaped by the heritage and atmosphere of Overnewton itself.
For those who have celebrated milestones at the castle, this auction offers a unique opportunity to take home something connected to those memories. For others, it’s a chance to discover character-filled pieces that bring depth and personality to any space.

Why This Auction Matters
Opportunities like this are rare. Estates of this significance are seldom opened in this way, and even less often do their contents become accessible to the public. This is your chance to step beyond the gates of a historic Melbourne landmark and bring part of that story into your own home.
How to Get Involved
All items will be available for online browsing and bidding, making it easy to explore the collection at your own pace. For those who want a closer look, Abbeys Auctions will also be offering in-person viewing days giving you the chance to experience the pieces firsthand.
Whether you’re searching for a statement item, a meaningful keepsake, or simply curious to see what lies within the castle, we invite you to take part.
The Overnewton Castle pieces in our May Classics Collection auction will be available online from Wednesday 6th of May. Register now so you’re notified as soon as it goes live: REGISTER HERE
