The Castle in Canadian Lakes

The Castle in Canadian Lakes The Castle in Canadian Lakes is owned and maintained by the Canadian Lakes Property Owners Corporation. It showcases many weddings, performances and more. Mr.
(17)

Please contact Member Services for more info at 231.972.7651 or [email protected]. In 1974, Canadian Lakes founder Donald Bollman made The Castle in Canadian Lakes not only the home for his wife, Laura and five children but also the recreational building for Canadian Lakes club member affairs as well as a VERY large dining area. The Bollman family lived in the penthouse seen in some photos

in the historical album for some time. The 15,000 square foot slip-form poured concrete construction castle was created by Hough Brothers of Sunfield, Michigan. Bollman's vision became a reality as The Castle became perched high atop a hill, overlooking a long and beautiful lake filled valley. These days, The Castle overlooks The Highlands Golf Course, along with the Highland Haus and Alpine Haus. That lake filled valley is now known as Lake of the Clouds. During the winter months, she watches over all the snow activities many take part in including the new Tubing Tow, ice skating and more! The Castle in Canadian Lakes is now used for many Canadian Lakes social activities, weddings, proms and the Canadian Lakes Property Owners Corporation Annual Meeting in the fall. The Castle in Canadian Lakes is private and a Canadian Lakes Property Owner must sponsor those who are not members for rentals and therefore, no set tours are available. Many people do venture out and find the Castle in Canadian Lakes on their own and take fantastic photos. Feel free to share your photos here!

An update for tonight's light and music shows👇

Tonight’s schedule for Nights of Lights, Canadian Lakes MI has changed due to the weather. The light and music shows will play at their scheduled times; 5:30, 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30pm. But we regret to inform you that TWIN TURBO BBQ will not be onsite tonight and the cocoa bar for St. Michael’s School will not take place. The wind is making it dangerous for people to be outside and travel conditions will worsen tonight. If you do venture out to the Castle to see the lights tonight, it’s probably a good idea to stay in your vehicle to watch the show. ❄️
