Kellie's Castle
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 1 h 30 min - admission not included


Kellieās Castle is the the unfinished home of rubber plantation owner William Kellie Smith. The Scotsman commissioned the construction of a family estate in 1915, combining of Scottish, Moorish, and Tamilvanan Indian architecture, and luxurious trappings like the countryās first elevator, an indoor tennis court, and a rooftop terrace. To make his home perfect, Smith even brought in workers and materials from India. After an outbreak of the Spanish Flu killed many of the workers, the survivors asked Smith if they could build a temple on the estate grounds, and he agreed. In appreciation of his kindness, the workers crafted a statue of him alongside their deities. However, after Smith abruptly died from pneumonia, his grieving wife sold the property and it was left abandoned. Today, visitors can explore the ruins to admire the unusual architecture, step into the furnished rooms to see what might have been, and learn about the ghost stories.
