It's the 1900's. You have made a killing on some investments and are discovering the amazement of newly discovered wealth. What to do?Why not build a replica Scottish castle?
Modernity has cursed us with the abandonment of crazy rich people. No longer are such monuments built. Sure, penthouses are purchased, new mansions materialize, and even fantastic films photographed.
But real crazy rich people, they build castles.
Not only was the construction of Casa Loma expensive, it included the need for upkeep from a rather large staff of servants. Unfortunately, the personality to invest in such a monument to wealth is the same that may make similar investments in business. As we seem to be experiencing all too often, these investments do not always pan out. Consequently, the city of Toronto, not paid its property tax, now possesses a replica of a Scottish castle.
Many movies have used this wonderful set. It also hosts weddings and many other special events. Check it out. A gem on a hill in Toronto.
