Castle Kyalami

About

For over 20 years, the Castle Kyalami has been a Midrand landmark. Located atop the highest point in the region, with vistas that stretch for miles, the castle is now home to the Church of Scientology. But once upon a time, it was the personal palace of a Greek architect and his extended family. Constructed in 1992, in Arthurian style, it has twelve crenellated turrets, Gothic arched windows, more than a dozen outdoor terraces and plenty of luxe details like a grand porte-cochère, Carrara marble-filled entrance, classic Greek fountain, wrought-iron chandeliers, coffered ceilings and beautifully crafted wood mouldings.

Today, the Castle Kyalami, which is nationally registered, is a spiritual retreat for Scientologists and includes an expansive state-of-the-art auditorium, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for more than 200, a café, a swimming pool and a braai-equipped gazebo. In one turret there’s an observation tower where visitors can take in hilltop views that extend for miles.
