Moller Villa

A unique northern European Norway-style castle at the downtown Shanghai, Moller Villa, called "Dreamlike Castle" was a private residence built by Eric Moller, a wealthy Briton. It was constructed in the 1930s to meet the wishes of his beloved daughter who said she wanted a life-sized doll's house.

The garden villa has a grand northern European style with striking towers and turrets, lattice window frames and distinctive stone masonry.
