The Pythian Castle Lodge, also known as Crystal Palace, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, was built in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

It was designed by architect Richard Oberst. It is a two-story brick structure on a poured concrete foundation with a roof that is flat in parts and hipped elsewhere, and has parapets. It was built for the Pythians fraternal order.

Oberst also designed the Excelsior Masonic Temple at 2422 W. National Avenue in Milwaukee, a Classical Revival building from 1922 that was deemed to be NRHP-eligible but was not listed on the NRHP due to owner objection.
