Introduction

Casa Loma is a historic mansion located in the northwest of downtown Toronto, covering 5 acres. Visiting it is like traveling through time. The building witnessed Toronto's history, and its former estate owner was Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, a financier, industrialist, and military figure in Toronto. This knight, inspired by art and architecture, began dreaming of his own castle when he was young and traveled to Europe. So, in 1911, Pellatt spent $3.5 million and hired the famous architect E.J. Lennox to help him realize his lifelong dream. In nearly three years of effort, more than 300 workers built this medieval-style castle overlooking Toronto. Today, the mansion is owned by the city of Toronto and open to visitors. Its unique medieval architecture has attracted numerous Hollywood films to shoot here. In addition, Casa Loma is also a popular venue for charity events and high society parties.
