The Oktoberfest castle in downtown Kitchener is soon to disappear from the city’s quickly evolving skyline.
Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest announced on Monday morning that it has sold its property on Benton Street to a local development group.
In a release, K-W Oktoberfest says the new owners “plan to peel back the castle walls to reveal the building’s century-old brick and beam character.”
