Casaloma is the most beautiful tourist spot of Canada
Toronto Casa Loma |
This is a 98-room medieval-style castle-cum-mansion built between 1911 and 1914 by sir Henry Pellat, a very wealthy and evidently eccentric man. The mansion has been a tourist site since 1937, when the cost of upkeep became too much for its owner. The interior is sumptuous, built with the finest materials imported from around the world. Note especially the conservatory. Pellat even brought in stonemasons from Scotland to build the walls around the estate.
In summer, the 2.5
hectares of restored gardens behind the castle are worth a visit in themselves.
This area is open to the public (without the need to buy a ticket to the
castle) on the first Monday of each month and every Tuesday form 4 pm to dusk.
