new zealand holidays
This is the only castle in New Zealand. It is situated somewhere in Otago Peninsula, Dunedin (South Island, NZ).
It is claimed in Larnach Castle website that it was "built in 1871 by William Larnach, merchant baron and politician, for his beloved first wife Eliza. 200 workmen spent three years building the Castle shell and master European craftsmen spent a further 12 years embellishing the interior.
Larnach spared no expenses on his dream home, which features the finest materials from around the world".
I visited this Castle in early April 2008. I don't think this is the most beautiful castle ever built but given that it is the only one in this Kiwi land it is certainly worth a visit.
