If you are going to Cape Breton you might take a look at the Castle Moffett in Baddeck ( it is a hotel) and the nearby Fortress of Louisbourg.

In Lunenburg is the Castle on the Hill - It is The Lunenburg Academy and a historical site.

You might also want to check out Fort Anne at Annapolis Royal/Bridgetown

For a castle of a very different sort, search the web for the Picton Castle - it is also in Lunenburg.

There is also the Oland Castle - so called by native Haligonians - located on Young Avenue in Halifax. This was at one time the family home of the Oland family, well known brewers and wealthy businesspeople from Nova Scotia. Not really a castle, but it is large, stone and has turrets.
