Kajuru Castle

[1] It was built by a German expatriate in Nigeria, living in Kaduna at the time.

Built with 1 meter thick granite stone in a fanciful medieval-inspired Romanesque style, it is adorned with turrets, an armory and a dungeon.

It has a baronial styled hall, coupled with dungeons and towers lined with crenellated walls.

The castle also has a big “knight’s hall” and a landlord (masters) residence and several other rooms over its three floors.

[4] On 19 April 2019, unidentified terrorists armed with heavy weapons broke into the castle,[5] killing two people, a British communication specialist[6] and a Nigerian assistant for NGO company Mercy Corps.
