History of Lord Egerton Castle

Located a few kilometers outside Nakuru, Lord Egerton Castle is an architectural marvel with a bittersweet backstory. Built by Lord Maurice Egerton in the 1950s to impress a fiancée who ultimately rejected him, the castle stands as a stunning monument to unrequited love.

Today, the castle and its incredibly manicured grounds are a popular tourist destination. The intricate stone work, imported materials, and towering facade make it a must-visit location for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike.

Our guided tours walk you through the lavishly decorated rooms, the ancient pipe organ, and the sprawling lawns where Lord Egerton spent his final days.
