Important place for the person who likes to discover historical facts of Sri Lanka.
The castle is a huge one and those days ,the owner used imported quality materials to build it and decorate it.
But no renovations have been done recently and it is going to be damaged.
Staff is available for describing the history of the castle. Actually they did an excellent job.
Here a few pictures were taken with the approval of the guiding lady regarding inner wall design and the owner of the castle who donated an ambulance to the UK in history.
Currently they maintain a children's home for little boys as per the wish of the owner of the castle.
The garden is comparatively maintained nicely and you can take pictures.
It is prohibited to take pictures inside without an approval.
A small car park is available and limited vehicles can be parked. I think ground clearance low vehicles (like aqua) are attentive while entering the park.
The road is narrow close to the castle car park and be careful while giving space for the opposite direction vehicle.
You can take tickets while you enter the location at the main gate.( not expensive)

A place with an amaazing historical value, architecture amd a background story!

Nice historical place and lot of stories to know. Very easy to access from Colombo.

There are rumours spreading around the town that bungalow is haunted in nighttime. Avoid visiting late night 👻

The entire building is characterised by intricate carvings. A dancing hall with a stage is another of its features. The architecture shows greater similarity to an English mansion than to an ancient walauwwa.

Richmond Castle is a two-storeyed building with 99 doors and 34 windows. The whole mansion needs to be renovated. Many rooms and walls are broken or damaged.

You need to buy a ticket at the entrance which is 100rs person. There will be guides inside to let you know the history. It is okay to visit if you are passing by kalutara.
