Hatley Castle is a National Historic Site located on the campus of Royal Roads University that was the home of former British Columbia Lieutenant Governor, James Dunsmuir. It was also planned as the royal residence for King George VI and his family during the Second World War before such relocation plans were canceled. It was subsequently converted to a naval training facility for Royal Roads, which was then a military college. Today, it is known as the exterior filming location in the X-Men movies (as Professor X's school for mutants) and the Smallville television series (as the Luthor Mansion).
