Kajuru Castle, located about 45 km from Kaduna in the village of Kajuru (Ajure), was built between 1981 and 1989 by a German expatriate. This private luxury villa is designed in a medieval-inspired Romanesque style, featuring thick granite stone walls, turrets, an armory, and a dungeon. The castle, often likened to a Bavarian fortress, spans three floors and includes a baronial hall, a knight's hall, and several other rooms. With a capacity to host 150 guests, it offers a unique architectural experience in southern Kaduna State.

It was such a nice place for vacation before bandits take over the area. Go to Kajuru at your own risk. Minimum ransom is #20m apart from the sufferings and trauma.

The Castle stands atop a community in Kajuru. It's such a beauty, especially looking that it is located in a suburb in Kaduna. Up the hill I went and wide open were the gates to welcome me. Oh my! My heart broke when I realised that this outstanding structure has been deserted due to "insecurity", leaving a lot of things in a wreck. Nonetheless, I absolutely love the place. George, the crocodile and the peacocks were in good shape. I saw lots of monkeys from afar the mountain top. I'd love to visit again when situation of things normalises there. PS- It was a rainy day.

Beautiful castle located up rock in kajuru local government of kaduna state. Location can be used for parties, receptions, events and lots more. Can accommodate but a few for sleep overs. They offer tour services within the castle. And is best advised to come with your food and drink supplies. I have not been here in a while as serveral reports of unrest were recorded. Its advised that one makes proper findings before embarking on the trip to this beauty.

It's beautiful, wonderful and it's fun been there, it's a place you don't want to be told about, it's something we only see in films so it's exciting to find yourself here, it has a swimming pool, relaxing chairs to enjoy the sunshine it's built on the mountains which gives it a nice view from the top, the design and structure is amazing it's a perfect place for tourism.
