4. Casa Loma

MIDTOWN.   This stately castle has been dubbed "a rich man's folly." Built in 1917 by Sir Henry Pellat (a financier and military officer) for the exorbitant price of $3.5 million, the home was a gift to his wife. Within ten years, it was valued at only $27,305. It features beautiful, 17th-century architecture, including Elizabethan chimneys, Rhenish turrets, underground tunnels, and secret passageways. The furnishings originally cost $1.5 million. Other features include a marble swimming pool, a 10,000-volume library and 15 baths. Even horses lived in luxury with their names engraved in 18-carat gold above their stalls. Self-guided audio tours (available in seven languages) are available at no additional cost.   (© 10Best)

Was this where part of Harry Potter's film was shot. Don't forget the bagpipe that plays on the hill with an eerie sound quite takes you back. Loved it thanks.
