Kellie's Castle, the unfinished castle

I'm a fan of history, and I've accidentally read about Kellie's castle history where the magnificent castle was left unfinished due to the death of William Kellie Smith (due to pneumonia). This castle is a tourist attraction since it was a very British-like, made of red bricks. And, supposedly, this castle would be the first with lift Malaya, if the process was continued. Highly recommended to all people to visit, to experience the beauty of this castle and also the surroundings greenery ♡ #2023travelwish #awesomepic #tripblazers Kompleks Pelancongan Kellie's Castle Lot 48436, KM 5, 5, Jalan Gopeng, 31000 Batu Gajah, Perak

Kellie’s Castle

It's a beautiful place but can't help feeling sad. It was built as symbol of love, hope and also to show their status in the society at that time. The architectural of the building was impressive and one can only imagine what a beautiful and stunning castle it could've become if completed. As the building is incomplete, one should take extra caution when climbing up the stairs, standing on the rooftop or careful not to lean against the metal railing along the terrace #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers

Good historical place to explore in Ipoh!

We enjoyed to visit this kind of historical place during the British colonisation in Malaya Era. That Scottish Engineer was my kind of motivation as I studied in Civil Engineering. The position of Wine Cellar, Bedrooms and Guest Rooms are pretty fascinating in the way of 1900s' architectural layout. The only we encountered some unpleasant vandalism on the walls. Overall it is quite worth to visit that place. #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #awesomepic #couplestrip

The castle was very huge and mysterious

Walk into British Castle in the heart of Perak

#tripxplorproject Exploring Kellie's Castle felt like stepping into a forgotten tale. Despite its incomplete state, the castle's faded grandeur and intricate murals, including those of Lord Murugan's temple, captivated me. Legend spoke of a tunnel connecting it to the temple, adding to its mystery. The presence of descendants of Tamil laborers nearby echoed its past. Tragically, William Kellie-Smith's dream was never realized, leaving the castle abandoned. Now a popular tourist spot, recent renovations offer comfort to visitors, with a restaurant across the river providing stunning views. In 2015, the castle hosted the first-ever 24-hour comic challenge, adding another layer to its storied history.
