Kellie’s Castle: A Tale of Dreams and Mystery

#ipohtrip Visiting Kellie’s Castle is like stepping into a mysterious blend of history and romance. This unfinished mansion exudes an enchanting yet slightly eerie charm. Built by Scottish planter William Kellie Smith in the early 20th century, the castle showcases a unique fusion of Moorish, Indian, and Western architectural styles. Wandering through its grand halls, hidden corridors, and rooftop balcony, I marveled at the intricate craftsmanship and the stories etched into every stone. The open-air rooftop offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, with the tranquil Perak River meandering nearby. Though the castle was never completed, its haunting beauty and rich history make it a captivating destination that lingers in the memory.
