Kellie’s Castle, Malaysia

Kellie's Castle, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, is an unfinished mansion with a fascinating history. Built by Scottish planter William Kellie-Smith in the early 20th century, the castle was intended as a gift for his wife or a home for his son. The architecture blends Moorish, Indo-Saracenic, and Roman styles, making it a unique landmark. Construction began in 1910, but was halted due to Kellie-Smith's untimely death in 1926. The castle features secret tunnels, hidden rooms, and what was to be Malaya's first elevator. Today, it stands as a popular tourist attraction, offering a glimpse into Malaysia's colonial past and the ambitious dreams of its builder³. The castle's mysterious aura and historical significance continue to captivate visitors from around the world. Have you ever visited any historical landmarks like this before? #ipohtrip
