Filming location of 'Winter Castle'
Hotel de Glace, Quebec
If you ever wondered where did they film Winter Castle, the answer is in Canada. According to The Cinemaholic, the hotel shown in Winter Castle was located in the Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier municipality in the Canadian region of Quebec City. The hotel is named as Hotel de Glace and is located 20 minutes to the north of Quebec City.
As reported, the hotel is the only ice hotel in North America. It remains open for three months from January to March. Winter Castle was shot before the hotel closed for the year. The majestic hotel includes a chapel, an ice slide and an ice-themed bar. The report stated that every year the hotel has to be rebuilt before opening up during the winter since it melts.
Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, Ontario
Since most of the indoor scenes were shot inside the hotel, the other scenes of the film were shot at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, Ontario. According to the report, the entire site was used to resemble the rural areas in North America during the 1920s and 1930s. The location included everything from a train station to schoolhouse, blacksmith’s shop and a garage. Even though it is a museum, the site is mostly served as a filming location.
