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.

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 situated on 28 acres of land. The interior is as well preserved as possible. Sequoia panels and ceilings, lobbies and stairwells are made of white oak, study rooms are made of Spanish mahogany, stained glass windows, and towers offer incredible views. Over the years, this is the home of the Dunsmuir family, which later became a military hospital, a university, a school board of directors, and a conservatory of music. It is now a museum with a long history, showing the life of the Dunsmuir family. Four stairs. The upper two floors have a muggy odor, which may require better ventilation. Otherwise, this is a place to visit in Victoria Super Zan.
In the quiet part of the city, the castle is very natural in front of us. Adult tickets are like 15 knives, students are not more than 10 knives. It was designed by American designers and built by white oak shipped from the United States. At that time, the rich businessman died before it was built, and later his children were auctioned. Later it was the Victorian Conservatory of Music, which is now open to the public. The highest level can enjoy Victoria's beautiful scenery
The castle is situated in a quiet neighborhood, but it is not difficult to find it. The castle is very luxurious, and you can get an introduction in Chinese. We spent more than an hour in it and it was worth visiting.
Compared with other scenic spots, tickets here are very cheap, only 12.5 Canadian dollars per person. Photographs can be taken, but flashes can not be used. Up and down the castle are different stairs. Up and down the castle are the same stairs as before, and the room is better to see. Down the stairs are added. When you enter the door, you will be given a map to view each room against the map. Few tourists come to enjoy the life of the wealthy.
Quedalo Castle completely preserved the 19th century Victorian business community, the residential style of politicians, and became the epitome of the upper class society of that era. There are many Chinese elements in his family. The light is dim, but I think I can see screen, Su embroidery, blue and white porcelain, and a suit of clothes that look like Qing Dynasty.
