Thus, Kat Von D would be ready to leave her beloved California driven away by its social change , which she herself explained: “With everything that has been happening in California, with terrible policies, tyrannical government overreach, ridiculous taxes and so much corruption, I felt the need to plant roots in another place where there is nature, my son can play freely and eventually can retire one day, “he explained through his social networks.
For his new family life, he chose Vevay, on the Kentucky border, a place an hour from Cincinnati and Louisville, which has a population of no more than 2,000 people. However, the top tattoo artist revealed that she will not sell her properties in Los Angeles or anticipate when the move will be.
The reality is that what most attracts the attention of the new “Von D Mansion” is its aura of a haunted house , 100% identified with its image of a dark and transgressive star.
It is a historic exposed brick house , popularly known in the area as the Benjamin Schenck Mansion , which until recently functioned as a bed and breakfast and has always carried a certain reputation as a haunted house.
It is a construction of 1874 of Italian style designed by architect George P Humphries for Benjamin Franklin Schenck , known at the time as “the king of hay.”
It had a major restoration work between 1998 and 2000 that was distinguished with awards and certifications and is part of the National Register of Historic Places in Indiana
