Bantony Castle, Shimla Overview
Bantony Estate is a British-era heritage site on Bantony Hill in Shimla, made up of Bantony Castle and Bantony Cottage. It's part of the official Shimla Heritage Walk, with wooden architecture and lawns worth a look if you're doing that walk rather than a separate trip.
Although the Bantony Castle is in the process of refurbishment and renovation, some parts are still in ruins. Tourists often speak about the melancholic vibe these portions of the estate posses. The potential of this heritage monument as a tourist attraction cannot be denied, and hence, the government purchased the property from the owners to rebuild it for the generation of today to get a glimpse into the British colonial era.
