An Alberta castle under construction for 13 years has opened as a one-bedroom bed and breakfast, offering guests the royal treatment with ornate furnishings, a medieval dining hall and traditional afternoon tea.
TORONTO -- If you think you had to travel to Europe to explore a castle, think again.Located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, behind a locked gate in Sturgeon County, Ryans Castle has been under construction for the past 13 years.
"I tried to go for a medieval-formal look [so] it's more of a palace than a typical castle… I've acquired a lot of antiques and different types of furniture to furnish it over the years," Ryan said. The bedroom for rent is in the main building with access to the pool and costs $995 per night. Guests are offered a gourmet breakfast and traditional English afternoon tea with the option of a candle-lit dinner at additional cost.
