William Larnach built Larnach Castle for his beloved wife over 150 years ago and it stands proud as New Zealand’s castle.

15 years of painstaking construction by master craftsmen made this building a majestic and imposing mansion, and one of the most iconic buildings in the country. The castle is symbolic of Dunedin’s rich history and heritage and a visit to it is a must-do for locals and visitors alike.

The castle has had many uses in its time, from mental asylum, to a hospital for soldiers, to a nun's retreat. The ballroom was once even used as a holding pen for sheep long before the current owners took on the mammoth task of restoring the castle to its former glory.

Wundervolle Gartenlandschaft

Wir waren beeindruckt, wie liebevoll die umgebenden Gartenanlagen gepflegt und gehegt werden. Das Ergebnis: Eine faszinierende Sammlung von wundervollen und besonderen Blumen und Pflanzen. Das Angebot im Café war gut. Die Ausstellung im Schloss selbst hat einen guten Eindruck von der Geschichte des Anwesens und über die Familien, die dort lebten. vermittelt.

Schön wiederaufbereitetes Schloss

Die Arbeit welche die Barker Familie in die Restaurierung dieses Schlosses gesteckt hat ist wirklich bemerkenswert und es gibt überall kleine und große Details zu entdecken. Alles ist mit sehr viel Liebe gestaltet und absolut sehenswert. Insbesondere mit dem Bookme-Deal ein fantastisches Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis!

Ein Schloss mit Aussicht

Das Schloss und die dazugehoerige Gartenanlage sind einfach wunderschoen!! Der Clou kommt jedoch wenn man auf das Dach steigt...etwas versteckt sind im obersten Stockwerk Stufen, die hinauf auf die "Dachterasse" fuehren. Von hier hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick!! Herrlich und definitiv einen Besuch wert!
