Contrary to speculations, the Kajuru
Castle located in Kaduna is not an ancient monument. Interestingly, it was
built in 1978 by a controversial German expatriate who lived in Kaduna at the
time. This breathtaking architectural master-piece is a tourist wonder of
sorts. The style is very European and clearly German with a baronial hall,
complete with suits of armour. Located at
about 45 kilometres from Kaduna on the Southern Kachia road is the Local
Government of Kajuru. If you take the road at the right, in the centre of the
town and drive past the Local Government Headquarters, for about 5-7
kilometres, you will see on the left a strange sight on a mountain ridge; a
European castle in Africa! Indeed, the first timer may assume he is imagining
things or his eyes are probably playing games on him, but it is real.
Friends took a recent trip to the European styled castle and had a blast!!!
