You can find more info at; www.thecastle.ca
As an aside, the son of the guy who built the Castle also built a large Castle like home which is called Hatley Castle and was used for the school during the filming of X-Men.
I have some pics of Craigdarroch Castle from our last visit to Victoria. I was suprised to find it the middle of a residential area, but it's still a stunning building. Check out some of the pics on my album (in my signature).
