Larnach castle, New Zealand's only castle, Built in 1871

On the second day in Dunedin I booked Monarch Castle to Cruise tour, This tour includes Scenic Bus Tour, Larnach Castle Tour and Wildlife Cruise.It departs from the city centre.

Larnach Castle is located about 20 minutes from Dunedin city by car, on the Otago Peninsula. It's not very convenient to get there by bus, so it's better to go on a private or group tour from Dunedin or Port Chalmers (for cruise ship passengers).

Larnach Castle (also referred to as "Larnach's Castle") is a mock castle on the ridge of the Otago Peninsula within the limits of the city of Dunedin, New Zealand, close to the small settlement of Pukehiki. It is one of a few houses of this scale in New Zealand. The house was built by the prominent entrepreneur and politician, William Larnach. Since 1967, the castle has been privately owned by the Barker family, and opened as a tourist attraction, as "New Zealand's only castle".

The castle and grounds are open daily to members of the public. The Larnach Castle gardens are one of only five gardens nationwide to have been given the rating of "Garden of International Significance" by the New Zealand Gardens Trust. These were the first gardens in the South Island to receive the title. In 2018, Larnach Castle was designated a New Zealand Landmark by Heritage New Zealand.

Land for the construction of Larnach Castle was purchased in 1870 and prominent Dunedin architect R.A. Lawson was selected to design the Gothic Revival mansion. The site was clear-felled and levelled, allowing construction to begin in 1871. Approximately 200 workmen were used to complete the main structure, using imported materials from around the world
