This legendary Victorian mansion, built on a hill overlooking the City of Victoria (Craigdarroch means “rocky, oak place” in Gaelic) announced to the world that the Dunsmuir family were the richest and most important family in Western Canada. The immense fortune of the Dunsmuir family is reflected in the four floors of exquisite stained glass windows, intricate woodwork and fabulous Victorian era furnishings. Craigdarroch Castle remains today as one of the finest examples of high Victorian architecture on the West Coast.
