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.

Une très belle découverte!

J’ai adoré ma visite à travers les différents étages de ce château. J’ai été impressionné par toutes les informations communiquées sur ce dernier. Un immense bravo à la famille Barker pour leur travail accompli au fil des années et qui a permis de redonner vie à cette magnifique demeure.

Brilliant

Great book me deal! At the special price well worth it, a beautiful journey through a snippet of dunedin history.. a ostentatious statement initially became a labour of love for the next owners and the work that has gone into the presentation of the property and gardens is exquisite! The view itself from the top of the tower is amazing

Interesting castle and gardens

Interesting castle and gardens to visit while in Dunedin; unfortunately, part of the castle was under renovations at the time of visit (31 August 2024)
