Kellie's Castle, Unfinished mansion in Batu Gajah, Malaysia
The stone building rises across elevated green grounds near the Raya River, featuring horseshoe arches and detailed plaster cornices across multiple levels.
Scottish planter William Kellie-Smith initiated the construction in 1915, importing materials and craftsmen from India until his death in 1926 halted the project.
The structure incorporates Moorish, Indo-Saracenic, and Roman architectural elements, reflecting the multicultural influences present in early 20th century Malaysia.
Located on Jalan Gopeng, the castle welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with separate entrance fees for Malaysian citizens and international tourists.
The construction plans included Malaysia's first elevator, secret tunnels, and a rooftop courtyard, though these features remained incomplete.
