Castelo de Inveraray (Gaelic Caisteal Inbhir Aora, pronounced [ˈkʰaʃtʲal iɲɪɾʲˈɯːɾə]) é uma casa de campo near Inveraray in the county of Argyll, in western Scotland, on the shore of Loch Fyne, Scotland’s longest sea loch.[1] It has been the seat of the Duke of Argyll, chief of Clan Campbell, since the 17th century.
História e Arquitetura[editar código-fonte]
Work on the castle began in the 1750s, in Gothic revival style. Adições posteriores incluem um terceiro piso com dormer windows and steep conical roofs. The village of Inveraray was moved in the 1770s to give the castle a more secluded setting. [2]
Designers who worked on the house include William Adam and Roger Morris; the interior includes a number of neoclassical rooms created for the 5th Duke by Robert Mylne.[1] These are among the rooms open to the public. James Lees-Milne was not impressed by the house when he visited it in 1943, noting the "ugly" gray stone and calling it "grim and forbidding".[2]
In 1975, a devastating fire struck Inveraray and for some time the 12th Duke and his family lived in the castle's basement, while restorations requiring a worldwide fund raising drive were carried out.[3]
Atualmente[editar código-fonte]
O castelo está aberto à visitações.. Its collection includes more than 1,300 pikes, muskets, swords and other weapons.[2]
The 13th Duke and his family live in private apartments occupying two floors and set between two of the castle's crenellated circular towers. Recent renovations included the installation of the house's first central heating.[1]
Inveraray Castle is a Category A listed building. It is surrounded by a 16 -acre(s) (6,5 ha) garden and estate of 60 000 acre(s)s (24 000 ha).[1] Besides welcoming visitors to the castle, the estate's activities include commercial forestry, tenanted farming, wind and hydro power and (deer) hunting.[2]
Em 2012, the Christmas episode of Downton Abbey was partly filmed here; the castle stood in for the fictional "Duneagle Castle". Inveraray Castle also featured in a series on Scottish castles made by American broadcaster PBS. The "Best of the West" festival, organized by the Duchess, is held at the castle each September.[2]
