"Early-20th-century military and business legend Sir Henry Pellatt (who at one time was the chairman of 21 diverse companies) spent a then-massive $3.5 million dollars to build this Canadian “Camelot” for himself and his wife, Lady Mary. Constructed between 1911 and 1914, the Gothic-style castle was inspired by the Pellatts' travels around Europe and is filled with treasures and artwork from Canada and beyond. The love for medieval flair didn’t stop with the décor: The castle was built with a series of battlements and hidden tunnels—the latter being one of the star draws for visitors today, along with gardens." - Sandra Ramani
