Kellie's Castle is located in Batu Gajah, Perak. It is easy to locate as it is right by the roadside. This unfinished castle dates back to the 1915's during the British colonial period. The reason for the unfinished state was a tragedy of the community being attacked by a strain of Spanish flu that ended the lives of most of the workers.
The entrance is at the back of main building. You can walk around, even to the rooftop, to inspect the castle. Most of the rooms are empty and not all are alike. The architectural influence is Moorish, resembling some of the castles in India. While I was there, I've observed that this location seems to be popular among the newlyweds who wanted the castle as the background to their wedding photos.

Hi syed, I have passed by this remotely located Kellie’s castle before but never checked it out. Didn’t notice the flags, so I thought it’s occupied by some private owner, like those in europe.
ReplyDeleteReally nice I love how your colors tend to be saturated. I usually go for the saturated look also. Really great work Syed
