The Castle of Gillow, or the Ex-Hacienda of Chautla as it is popularly known, was founded in 1598, but it was not until 1898 that Monsignor Euologio Gillow ordered the construction of the red brick english-style castle. An interesting fact is that the former hacienda of Chautla was the first construction in Latin America to have a hydroelectric plant. On the premises you will find a lagoon, a hotel with 94 spacious and comfortable rooms, large gardens, a chapel, a museum with many pieces of historical value, as well as offerings for those who enjoy ecotourism and adventure sports. Just a few hours from Mexico City, it is an excellent place to admire one of the largest haciendas in Mexico and enjoy nature. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful areas that the mountainous region of the country offers.
