Casa Loma

Casa Loma was constructed from 1911 to 1914 and established as museum in 1937. It once was the home of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, a Canadian soldier and financier, who gained immense wealth from founding the Toronto Electric Light Company in 1883. Now it is owned by the city of Toronto and has become a museum and tourist attraction for visitors to Toronto. Pellatt spent $17 million (modern-day $412 million) to build this castle and went bankrupt. Casa Loma has been used as filming location for many movies and television such as X-Men, Strange Brew, Chicago, The Tuxedo, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Warehouse 13, Twitches Too, and The Pacifier. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies.
