Stollmeyer's Castle, Port of Spain

The magnificent Stollmeyer's Castle, also known as Killarney, is a Scottish Baronial-style residence located at 31 Maraval Road. Built on land that was previously used as the government stock farm, this robust and elaborate structure was the first residence constructed in St Clair neighborhood.

It is named for Charles Fourier Stollmeyer, the first owner, who hired the Scottish architect Robert Gillies to design the house, which is said to be patterned after a wing of Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The two-year construction began in 1902. When his wife said that she preferred a simpler home, Stollmeyer gave the house to his son, Conrad, whose wife, in turn, named it for Killarney, Ireland.

Similarly to the nearby White Hall, during World War II the property was commandeered by the United States Forces, who called it "The Castle". Following that, it started to be called Stollmeyer's Castle. After the war, the property remained within the Stollmeyer family until 1972, when it was bought by an insurance executive, Jessy Henry A Mahabir.

Seven years later, the government of Trinidad and Tobago acquired the building. In the late 1990s, it was restored and is currently under the care of the Office of the Prime Minister, and is a heritage site protected by the National Trust. The most recent restoration project, in 2008, fitted the building for use by visiting foreign dignitaries.
