Kelly's Castle in Ipoh

Fancy visiting a castle in Ipoh,  Malaysia. Its not well known and seldom talked about. But Kelly's Castle was build by William Kelly a British Plantation owner in Malaya in the late 1800s for his wife. Legend has it that he started building it in 1906, but never got the chance to stay in the castle, as he died from Malaria before it was completed. William Kelly was a commoner who became a millionaire through sheer hard work & perserverence. Its a unique story of a 100 year old castle, filled with mystery and contravesy.
