Variant namesOheka Castle, also known as the Otto Kahn Estate, is a hotel located on the North Shore of Long Island. It was the country home of investment financier and philanthropist Otto Hermann Kahn and his family.
The name "Oheka" is an acronym using the first several letters of each part of its creator's name, Otto Hermann Kahn, which Kahn also used to name his yacht Oheka II and his oceanfront Villa Oheka in Palm Beach, Florida. The mansion, built by Kahn between 1914 and 1919, is the largest private home in New York, and the third largest in the United States, comprising 127 rooms and over 109,000 sq ft (10,100 m2), as originally configured.
