Kellie's Castle
|
Kellie's
Castle - This
amazing leftover from colonial times is set by a small
river about 30 KM South West of Ipoh. The castle
referred to is in fact an old unfinished
mansion.
It was to be one in the mould of great colonial houses,
complete with Moorish-style windows & even a
lift. A wealthy British Plantation Owner, William
Kellie Smith, who lived in a splendid mansion in this
area in the early 19th century, commissioned the
building of the "Castle", which was to
be the home
of his (as yet unborn) son. The house was never
occupied, as he died before the castle could be
completed.

|
Leaning
Tower - The pride of Teluk
Intan, 84km from lpoh, is
its spectacular Leaning Tower. Reminiscent of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa this pagoda-like structure was built in 1885 by a
Chinese contractor, Leong Choon Choong. The dominating 25.5m
tower was once used for water storage in Teluk Intan.
