Castillo Douglas, Stone castle house in Aguascalientes, Mexico

The Castillo Douglas features medieval architectural elements including a moat, drawbridge, battlements, turrets, and stained glass windows throughout its structure.

Edmundo Ortega Douglas commissioned this residence in 1923, working with architects Federico Mariscal and Refugio Reyes Rivas to honor his Scottish grandfather.

The inscription 'Amore ne vanitate' above the entrance and carved initials of Edmundo and Carmen on the doors represent their dedication to family.

The property underwent renovation attempts in 1997 for a restaurant venture and changed ownership in 2015, though currently remains unoccupied.

The castle incorporates Scottish architectural influences into its design, making it stand out among traditional Mexican residential buildings in Aguascalientes.
