Urban 6: Hidden Gem
Many people have driven along Old Main Road between the Heritage market and the Pinetown on-ramp hundreds of times without realising that they pass an old hidden castle.
The castle is a real historical gem - makes you feel like you in a far away place instead of the busy Old Main road in Hillcrest. The castle was built in 1862 and it is believe that the man who built the castle's wife was an Opera singer, therefore the castle was designed with excellent accoustics capabilites. Many people traveled from far away to hear her sing, even in today's times there has been many live performances at the castle. At one stage it was even used as a studio.
There's not alot of informaiton availible about the castle, with alot of mystery surrounding its history with many "gaps" and "missing years" but we will update it as we find out more information.
Today the castle is used as a tourist stop with with a cafe and a few shops around the castle.
