KAMPANA CAFE: A Castle in Bacolod City!

The Castle is open!  For decades the gates of the strange house beside the Alijis-Murcia road have been shut. People have caught a glimpse of the strange towers overlooking the walls and wondered what was inside.  Well, wonder no more.  Finally the gates are open and the old castle house is now a tourist attraction and houses Kampana Cafe.

Kampana Cafe is set inside the main house structure.  There are plenty of tables and chairs and the place has an old Philippine house atmosphere. For me, it felt like I was visiting my grandmother’s house. The wood and the floor is reminiscent of that period.


Kampana Cafe and the castle grounds are still under renovation and soft opening.  There’s not much to see yet.BUT you can still have a good time.  Kids will love this place.  I loved our visit here  but some of our group thought it was a borderline tourist trap.  Personally, I had a great time and I think Kampana cafe is worth going back to even while they are undergoing renovations and even after they finish renovating the castle and grounds.
