Travel Snapshot – Kellie’s Castle in Malaysia

The fascinating original design of Kellie’s Castle with an indoor tennis court on the 2nd floor, a first-in-Malaya elevator connecting the top floor to the ground, a tunnel underground connecting the castle with a Hindu temple nearby and the Hinduism influence with building materials imported directly from India, had made this castle so attractive and became a famous travel destination in Batu Gajah, 20 minutes away from Ipoh, northern Malaysia.

Kellies Castle

Even though it was not completed due to some financial and health issues of the owner, a Scottish planter, Mr. William Kellie Smith, the spirit and the outlook  was great enough to have become the backdrop setting for the famous movie, “Anna and the King” starred by Chow Yun Fatt and Jodie Foster in 1999. For those of you who are visiting the well known island resort of Pangkor Island, on your way to Lumut, you will see this castle around Batu Gajah on your left. – Travel Feeder, your ultimate travel photo blog
