Casa Loma - Toronto
Previous Next
Step back in time as you explore the former estate of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, a prominent Toronto financier, industrialist and military man. An unabashed romantic, Sir Henry engaged the noted architect E.J Lennox to help him realize a life-long dream-the creation of a 'medieval' castle on the brow of a hill overlooking Toronto. Begun in 1911, it took 300 men nearly 3 years to complete and cost $3,500,000 at that time. Sir Henry enjoyed Casa Loma for less than ten years before financial misfortune forced him to abandon his castle home. Today Casa Loma is one of Toronto's premier tourist attractions. It is owned by the City of Toronto and operated by the Kiwanis Club of Casa Loma. Today Casa Loma is one of Toronto's premier tourist attractions.
