The original mansion was built at the beginning of the 20th century for a wealthy businessman, Sir G.M. Pellate. After some time, he sold the castle due to the inability to maintain real estate and pay taxes. Until the 30s. the building was used as a hotel, and then was transferred to the state. The castle was turned into a tourist attraction. It is rented periodically for private events.

The majority of rooms in the castle are quite well-maintained to be an accurate representation of what it was like back in the day.

The Castle itself was a testament to the imagination of Sir Henry Pellatt. The furnishings were beautiful. The rooms majestic! The wine cellar to die for! A surprise around every corner. There is even an 800 foot tunnel under the road leading to his original house which is called the Hunting Lodge and includes stables and a garage. Even the servants were well looked after.
We plan to return for a visit in the summer to enjoy the outside and the beautiful gardens.

Tucked in the middle of a modern city, lies this beautiful castle which would instantly transport you back in time! From the moment you enter this magnificent castle you get to take a glimpse of a place frozen in time. The rooms are beautifully decor.. Read more »ated and the majestic architecture will leave you awestruck!
The first things that we would recommend is go to the basement, watch the movies about the castle and take the audio tour equipment and a map. You can then take your time to explore the castle at your own pace. Each point of interest is well marked and numbered. By pressing the number in the audio tour equipment, you get to know the story behind it (did you know at one point there were 80 servants for just 2 people!!!)
Form the attic to the tunnels, the coffee shop to the Escape Rooms, we would definitely recommend that visiting this place!
