There's a faux castle house in Dorchester NB too. It definitely causes you to do a double take when driving by on the highway. It's not too far from Dorchester Penitentiary, which really looks like a fortress.........

WTF is going on inside? Reminiscent of the Calgary castle with the 70’s furniture. What are those strangely coloured Dr. Seussian feather plants hanging from the ceiling? I’m so intrigued. I want to meet the man responsible for this and find out what makes him tick. Does he practice dark magic in that weird castle den with oddly placed furniture? Does he host masonic swap meets? Does he sacrifice goats to his dark lord? Is he somehow being influenced by the malign all seeing eye of Laval?
I see no clocks so I doubt he is a worshipper of the dark lord of Laval. But he probably uses the little trees as a ritualistic garment for his sacrifices. Maybe we should organize a meet up between him and the guy who owns the Calgary castle.

I think you’ve reached the summit of mount ugly with the castle and now nothing less than clockzillian will appear ugly in comparison.

True, the castle and The Venetian are the worst Edmonton has to offer. Time to branch out to other cities. Maybe some fuglys in BC.

The New Police Headqaurters in Oakville has always struck me as awful. It wouldn’t be so bad without those fugly multicoloured panels but boy do they just make it.

Princess Towers is clockzillian in my opinion.






It towers over everything and can be seen from most points downtown.

Club Regent Casino in Winnipeg is awful.




Although it isn’t as bad as this one which is also located in Winnipeg.




The inside is tacky but rather typical for a fugly themed Casino. One has to wonder what the people who frequent it think.

Just look at this prison! Not a single window on the front of the building.



And how about that inspiring interior..

Not to mention the fact that it smells of shitty plastic. You also get the lovely sound of infomercials pounding at your eardrums the entire time. Truly an awful place.

They are plastic knock-offs. I suppose the “tropical” theme is meant to divert gamblers attention about the fact that they are in Winterpeg .

There’s also this warehouse of a Casino in London. The awful stucco turrets just make it.
