Ice Castle, Seasonal tourist attraction in Greater Strathcona, Canada.

This temporary structure built entirely from ice and snow features guest rooms, carved corridors, a chapel, and an ice bar where all architectural elements are crafted from solid blocks of ice.

The establishment draws inspiration from North American ice hotel concepts, a tradition that began in the early 2000s to promote winter tourism in Canada's cold climate regions.

The venue hosts wedding ceremonies in its ice chapel, ice sculpting workshops, and special events that celebrate traditional Canadian winter construction artistry and seasonal craftsmanship.

The attraction operates only during winter months from January through March, with interior temperatures maintained between -5°C and -7°C requiring appropriate thermal clothing for all visitors.

Each year, the entire structure is completely rebuilt with new artistic themes, utilizing approximately 30,000 tons of snow and 500 tons of ice by specialized craftsmen and artisans.
