Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Scottish entrepreneur Robert Dunsmuir, who got rich from coal mines, is the owner of Quedaloo Castle. The mansion he built with huge sums of money took 3 years to build and was completed in 1890. The internal structure was transported by train from the United States. More than 2,000 pieces of very good oak materials are carefully crafted with luxurious stained glass to create a magnificent room. The castle is well-equipped with 39 rooms, including a dance room for children to learn dance. Climb up the stairs and climb to the top tower, and you will come to the place where you can see the city of Victoria. The Juan Feca Strait in the distance has a beautiful scenery, and Victoria is full of vitality against the backdrop of the sea and flowers.

A rich private castle, modeled on the classical style, built for just over a hundred years, this castle is also quite simple layout, did not enter the interior to visit, you can see things are also very surprised, I like the style here.
Craigdarroch Castle Built in 1890, it was originally a private castle of the coal tycoon. It has beautiful scenery, complete facilities on the upper and lower floors, exquisite, and expensive. It was later converted into a field hospital, school, conservatory, etc. It is now arranged as a museum for tourists to visit.
The beautiful castle built by coal tycoon Robert Dunsmuir is located on a 28-acre plot. The interior is as well preserved as possible. Sequoia panelling and ceilings, halls and stairwells are made of white oak, study rooms have Spanish mahogany, stained glass windows and towers with incredible views. For years, it was the home of the Dunsmuir family, which later became a military hospital, a university, school board, a conservatory, and now a historic museum that showcased the life of the Dunsmuir family. Four floors of stairs. There is a sultry smell on the top two floors that may require better ventilation. Otherwise, this is a great place to visit in Victoria.
In a very quiet place in the city, the castle is very natural in front of you. Adult tickets seem to be 15 knives, students no more than 10 knives, designed by American designers, built by white oak from the United States, the rich merchants did not wait until they were built and died, and later their children auctioned. Later is the Victorian Conservatory of Music, which is now open to the public. The highest level can enjoy the beauty of Victoria.
The castle is located in a quieter neighborhood, but it is not difficult to find the past. The castle is very luxurious and you can get a Chinese introduction. We spent more than an hour inside and it was worth seeing.
Compared with other attractions, the tickets here are very cheap, as long as 12.5 Canadian dollars per person. You can take pictures but you can't use flash lights. The upper and lower castles are different stairs. The upper ones are there before, and the room to see is better; the lower stairs are added later. You will be given a map when you enter the door, and you can view each room by comparing the map. There are few tourists who come here and can slowly taste the life of the rich before.
Quaidalo Castle completely preserved the 19th century Victorian business and political dignitaries of the residential style, becoming the epitome of the era's upper class society. There are indeed many Chinese elements in his home, the light is darker, but I feel that I have seen the screen, Su embroidery, blue and white porcelain, and a suit that looks like Qing Dynasty clothes.
