The Keyhole Castle is located in the East Hill neighborhood of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was built as the residence for Samuel McLeod, a former businessman, mayor of Prince Albert and federal politician. Architect Erich Wohann of Minneapolis designed the building, with construction ending in 1913. In 1975, the Keyhole Castle was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.[1] The building contains a ballroom on the top floor.[2]
Samuel McLeod was a successful businessman, and mayor of Prince Albert mayor both in 1886 and in 1919.[3] The institute for stained glass in Canada has documented the stained glass at Keyhole Castle.[4]
