“home of a prominent Victorian family”
Dundurn Castle is a National Historic Site that illustrates the life and times of Sir Allan Napier MacNab (1798 - 1862). Dundurn Castle has been restored to the year 1855 when MacNab was at the height of his career as a lawyer, landowner, railway magnate and Premier of the United Canadas (1854-56). Over forty rooms, above and below stairs, have been furnished to compare the life of a prominent Victorian family with that of their servants. Costumed staff guide visitors through the home, illustrating daily life from the 1850s.
Pretty cool castle / mansion, and very well restored and preserved. The tour was definitely worthwhile. No flash photography allowed inside, but most rooms have plenty of natural light coming into them.
Lovely mansion, beautifully restored. It's authentic, and the tour is very informative. They also host many events over the Christmas season.
Went to Dundurn Castle with my Mom and my family...we enjoyed it immensely!!
