Cool castle Part I

I visited the Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, BC.



The "castle" -- more accurately, a large Victorian mansion -- was built between 1887 and 1890.



It was built for Robert Dunsmuir, an industrialist who made his fortune from coal.  He lived in the castle with his family.



Fake sweets and treats!  Yum!



This room was pretty awesome -- just look at those awesome green walls!



This is where the Dunsmuir ate their morning and afternoon meals.



In its history, the castle has also been used as a military hospital and by Victoria College.  Such a cool castle.  Next I'm going to Hatley Castle!
