Aberdeen Pavilion is one of Ottawa’s oldest and most striking exhibition halls, located at Lansdowne Park. Built in 1898, it’s often referred to as the “Cattle Castle” due to its agricultural fair history. The pavilion’s impressive steel and glass structure exemplifies Victorian architecture and engineering innovation. Now a designated National Historic Site, it hosts markets, festivals, and cultural events throughout the year. Its spacious interior and ornate design continue to captivate visitors, serving as both a functional event venue and a heritage monument that links Ottawa’s agricultural roots with its modern urban identity.
