The Mystical Charm of Kellie’s Castle 👻🌿

Hidden amidst the greenery of Batu Gajah, Perak, lies the enchanting Kellie’s Castle — an unfinished mansion with a story as captivating as its architecture. Built in the early 20th century by a Scottish planter, William Kellie Smith, the castle was meant to be a symbol of love and legacy. Unfortunately, construction stopped after his sudden death, leaving behind a romantic yet mysterious ruin. With its Moorish, Indo-Saracenic, and Roman-inspired design, the castle is a stunning blend of cultures. Many believe it holds secrets and even paranormal tales, making it a favorite for history buffs, photographers, and thrill-seekers alike. Climb up to the rooftop for breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside — it’s simply magical! #holidayitinerary #travel
