Craigdarroch Castle. Built for coal magnate Robert Dunsmuir, Craigdarroch symbolized the desire of late 19th century industrialists to assert their social position through conspicuous displays of wealth.Completed in 1890,the eclectic mansion features exquisite detailing in stone,stained glass,wrought iron and fine woods.Designers,craftsmen and materials were drawn from all over North America,marking a new age in construction made possible by transcontinental rail systems.This imposing landmark is among the largest and most ornate 19th-century mansions in western Canada.
