Hatley Castle, currently home to Royal Roads University, boasts the stunning Hatley Gardens, featuring incredible Japanese, Italian and Rose gardens. It is surrounded by miles of old-growth forest with miles of walking trails that weave throughout federally owned property.

Hatley Castle was built by coal magnate James Dunsmuir in 1908. In 1940 the land was purchased by the Department of National Defence (DND) and until 1995 the Castle served as dormitory and mess hall for cadets and staff officers at Royal Roads Military College.

The land is still owned by DND. The castle and surrounding area are leased to Royal Roads University, which is recognized for it's innovative learning model and cutting edge programs designed for experienced and aspiring professionals.

The beautiful buildings and grounds are a National Historic site known as Hatley Park. Visit the breathtaking gardens, castle, museum and gift shop which are open daily from 10am-4pm.
