Casa LomaCanada's own castle, Casa Loma, is today owned by the City of
Toronto and draws plenty of interest standing in medieval splendour
on its hilltop site. The castle was formerly the home of Canadian
financier, Sir Henry Pellatt, who engaged the noted architect E J
Lennox to help him realise a life-long dream of building a castle.
Construction started in 1911 and it took 300 men nearly three years
to complete the impressive Casa Loma. Inside visitors can see the
magnificent decorated suites, secret passages, and 800ft (244m)
long tunnel, while outside it is possible to stroll through the
beautiful five-acre estate gardens. Self-guided audio tours are
available and the castle is open every day.
