Well, it's a nice tourist spot in Ipoh. You will cross a bridge to get to the castle. The landscaping around the castle is very nicely done. This castle though is incomplete but it was very well maintained. You get to read the history when exploring through each of the rooms and vicinity. You need to climb several flights of stairs to reach the top. The view from the top is worth the climb. #malaysia

Beautiful castle in perak where you should not missed. Best if you have studied the history with more understanding before you go. Although it is also famous with haunted house, but its worth to pay a visit. There are many spots around here that you can take beautiful pictures.

I'm a fan of history, and I've accidentally read about Kellie's castle history where the magnificent castle was left unfinished due to the death of William Kellie Smith (due to pneumonia). This castle is a tourist attraction since it was a very British-like, made of red bricks. And, supposedly, this castle would be the first with lift Malaya, if the process was continued. Highly recommended to all people to visit, to experience the beauty of this castle and also the surroundings greenery ♡ #2023travelwish #awesomepic #tripblazers Kompleks Pelancongan Kellie's Castle Lot 48436, KM 5, 5, Jalan Gopeng, 31000 Batu Gajah, Perak

It's a beautiful place but can't help feeling sad. It was built as symbol of love, hope and also to show their status in the society at that time. The architectural of the building was impressive and one can only imagine what a beautiful and stunning castle it could've become if completed. As the building is incomplete, one should take extra caution when climbing up the stairs, standing on the rooftop or careful not to lean against the metal railing along the terrace #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers
