Casa Loma
Description
The castle was built by one of the most wealthy of Toronto's citizens as a palatial palace for his family. It's style is a mix of Norman, Scottish Baronial, Celtic, Italianate, Teutonic and Tudor - all mixed together because the owner liked all the styles. Before the castle was even completed his fortune disappeared and the property was seized by the council to cover back taxes. Today it's open to look around to see how one mans interpretation of a castle at the start of the 20th century would look
