Dundurn Castle, Historical mansion and military museum in Hamilton, Canada
The neoclassical residence features forty rooms across 18,000 square feet, incorporating architectural elements from both Italian and Regency design traditions.
Sir Allan Napier MacNab, Premier of the United Canadas from 1854 to 1856, commissioned architect Robert Charles Wetherell to construct this estate in 1835.
The residence maintains period-accurate rooms from 1855, where costumed interpreters demonstrate daily activities and customs of nineteenth-century Canadian upper-class society.
Guided tours lasting one hour include access to both the mansion and the Hamilton Military Museum, with advance ticket purchases recommended for guaranteed entry.
The historic kitchen garden cultivates over 200 heirloom varieties of produce, with excess harvests donated to local food banks in Hamilton.
