Craigdarroch Castle is a must-visit museum in Victoria, known as Canada's Castle.
Built by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir in the 1890s, this National Historic Site offers a glimpse into privileged life during that era. Explore the intriguing history of the Dunsmuir family, their achievements, relationships, and quirks.
With meticulous restoration, the castle preserves a piece of Canada's heritage for future generations to enjoy.
It is free to visit the exterior of the castle, but you do need to buy tickets to go inside.
We highly recommend taking a self-guided tour inside the castle. You get to walk through multiple levels and rooms that are full of Victorian-era decor.
Plan to be here for a few hours.
Don't miss out on this quintessential Victoria experience!
