KELLIE'S CASTLE



Kellie’s Castle is located near Batu Gajah. Do you know about Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Kellie’s Castle not as famous as Taj Mahal but there are some similarities, both in architecture as in the story of its building. It is about 20 minutes drive from Ipoh, Perak (Malaysia). The unfinished, ruined mansion, was built by William Kellie Smith, during the late 19th century. This building was built as love gift for his wife, Agnes. For many years, Kellie’s Castle has been shrouded in mystery. Besides being haunted, it is believed to have secret rooms and underground tunnels. Now these lingering rumours enhances the legend of the unfulfilled dream of William Kellie Smith. Today it’s nicely restored and easy to reach from Ipoh.
