Halcyon Castle
One of the most gorgeous mansions of Kerala is Halcyon Castle, located in the International Beach Resort, Kovalam. Dating back to 1932, Halcyon Castle was meant to be served as a summer retreat for a family. The castle sets a great example of brilliance and luxury. With traditional Kerala-style architecture this beautiful mansion has well-maintained expansive lawns. Today, it has become a popular tourist attraction of Kerala.
In 1964, Halcyon Castle was sold to the Kerala Government by Thampuran and it further got converted into a luxurious hotel. ITDC (Indian Tourism Development Corporation) took care of the hotel, but later decided to sell it off to a private resort group. This lead to a dispute as the Kerala Government emphasized upon its historical importance and sought to make it a heritage site. However, Leela Group acquired it and now it belongs to Ravi Pillai Group.
