English: Situated on the summit of the highest hill adjacent to downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Craigdarroch National Historic Site of Canada is a well-known and prominent landmark. Its Scottish Baronial design combines an eclectic fusion of elements borrowed from various architectural styles to evoke the romantic image of a hilltop castle. Built between 1887 and 1890, the castle is distinguished by its distinctive combination of materials, asymmetrical massing with a strong vertical emphasis, steeply-pitched picturesque roofline, and rich contrast of materials, colours and details. The building occupies a remnant of the original 11-hectare (28 acres) Dunsmuir estate and dominates the surrounding Rockland residential area of Victoria. The designation refers to the house on its legal lot as of 1992.
Français : Le lieu historique national du Canada Craigdarroch, situé au sommet d'une colline proche du centre-ville de Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique, est un point d'intérêt éminent et renommé. Sa conception en manoir écossais combine de façon éclectique des éléments provenant de divers styles architecturaux, si bien qu'il évoque un château romantique perché sur une colline. Construit de 1887 à 1890, ce château se démarque à cause de sa combinaison unique de matériaux, de son volume asymétrique à fort accent vertical, de sa ligne de toiture pittoresque à forte pente, et du riche contraste de ses matériaux, de ses couleurs et de ses ornements. L'édifice est situé sur une partie de ce qui subsiste du domaine d'origine de Dunsmuir, qui mesurait 11 hectares (28 acres). Il domine le quartier résidentiel de Rockland, de la ville de Victoria. La désignation a trait au bâtiment sur son lotissement légal tel qu'il était en 1992.
