Review & FAQ:

Craigdarroch Castle, built in 1887, has all the romance of a castle in a fairytale and the history to go with it. Built by a Scottish immigrant who made a fortune in the coal industry, the castle was built at the top of a hill overlooking Victoria, and the four-story building is full of incredible stained glass windows and masterfully ornate woodwork. Today, the castle is open for tours, and visitors can explore the 200,000-square-foot castle, see the exquisite Victorian-era furniture, and learn about the Dunsmuir family, who once lived there.
