Hamilton - Dundurn National Historic Site

Dundurn Castle, the 25-room mansion of Sir Allan Napier MacNab, Prime Minister of Canada from 1854 to 1856, was built between 1832 and 1835 overlooking the harbor in Hamilton.
Overlooking Burlington Bay, Dundurn Castle is a fine example of a mid 19th century country villa set within a picturesque estate. Dundurn Castle tells the story of the family who lived above stairs and the corps of servants who lived and worked below stairs to support their affluent lifestyle.
