About Casa Loma

Casa Loma is a turn‑of‑the‑20th‑century castle built by financier Sir Henry Pellatt; it offers restored rooms, secret passages and beautifully maintained gardens. The interior evokes grand early 1900s style while the grounds provide city vistas and seasonal displays. Visitors can enjoy self‑guided audio tours, special events (like holiday lights), and café services on site. The castle’s architecture and film history make it one of Toronto’s most photogenic and storied attractions.
