About
Inside, visitors move through floor after floor of rooms furnished to show how a wealthy family lived in the 1890s. Rich woodwork, stained glass, period furniture and household objects help bring the era to life, and the exhibits also tell the story of the Dunsmuir family and the later lives of the building.
The castle sits on a hill, and its upper floors give a sense of how the house once looked out over the growing city.
Craigdarroch is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 am to 4:30 pm. Allow at least an hour to take it all in. The gift shop carries books, gifts and keepsakes connected to the castle and the period.
It pairs well with a walk through Rockland's heritage streets or a visit to other historic sites around Victoria.
