Dundurn Castle

Completed in 1835 for Allan Napier MacNab, Dundurn Castle incorporated an existing farmhouse and was designed by local architect Robert Wetherell as a statement of its owner's place in Hamilton society. The house features an eclectic blend of classical and Italianate motifs, French windows, broad verandahs, and a panoramic view of Burlington Bay. With its outbuildings and grounds, it stands as an important example of the Picturesque Movement in Canada. After years in private hands, the property was purchased by the city and from 1964 to 1967 restored to its former splendour.
