Casa Loma

Step back in time at Toronto’s historic Casa Loma, a grand castle built between 1911 and 1914 by financier Sir Henry Pellatt. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, Casa Loma was meant to be a luxurious home, complete with secret passages, towers, and sprawling gardens. Although Sir Pellatt faced financial troubles and only lived there for a short time, the castle remains a remarkable piece of Toronto history.

Students visiting Casa Loma can explore its beautifully decorated rooms, from elegant ballrooms and libraries to kitchens and bedrooms, all filled with early 20th-century furnishings. They can climb towers for panoramic views of the city, wander through secret tunnels, and stroll through the gardens. A visit offers a unique chance to experience history and architecture firsthand while imagining life in one of Toronto’s most fascinating landmarks.

Fun Fact

Casa Loma has been a favourite filming location for decades thanks to its dramatic castle setting. It has appeared in a variety of well‑known films, including X‑Men (as Professor X’s school), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the musical Chicago, the comedy Billy Madison, the action comedy The Tuxedo, the thriller Ready or Not, and The Pacifier, among many others.
