  • Join me while I take a tour of the historic Craigdarroch Castle in beautiful Victoria, BC. The Castle, originally owned by the Dunsmuir Family is one of Canada's most grand. Craigdarroch Castle is a historic landmark in Victoria, BC and is a popular tourist destination. I explore the four floors as well as the tower in this fine example of historic architecture. It is interesting to learn of Craigdarroch Castle's many previous uses including as a military hospital, Victoria Conservatory of Music as well as School Board offices. The castle is operated by a non-profit charity, which is dedicated to the upkeep, maintenance and restoration of this one-of-a-kind landmark.

    Have a look at the Airbnb that I'm staying in while I'm spending the winter in Victoria.

    I got to tour the castle in the early 1980's I think that was when it a music conservatory. Stunning!!

    I've been there a few years back and it's indeed a beautiful place inside and out. I was considering making a video there and judging by how nice your video is I'm thinking it might be a good idea. So thanks for the tip 😄 Hope you have a great time here on the Island!

      Craigdarroch Castle is absolutely beautiful, and it's hard to believe that it was someone's home. We have a hard time keeping a small apartment clean lol. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it :)
