Kryal Castle is an Australian replica medieval castle located on a foothill of Mount Warrenheip at Leigh Creek, just north of Dunnstown and 8 km east of Ballarat. It was built in 1972 and opened to the public in 1974 by Keith Ryall, who gave the castle his namesake (K then Ryal), having made his fortune selling body armour.

The castle has many features including a moat, drawbridge, maze, castle towers, stocks medical museum, armoury. It also features shows such as jousting, public whipping, a jester juggler, fire eating and a “Wax Of Torture” museum. It also has accommodation and performs weddings.
The castle building itself is a vast complex of gothic towers, turrets, parapets and battlements, complete with moat and drawbridge.
