点评:We really enjoyed touring Craigdarroch Castle. There are four stories of rooms that are filled with beautiful stained glass, intricate word carvings, historical artifacts, and art. The rooms are staged as if the family still lived there and offer a wonderful slice of life of how a wealthy Victorian family would have lived at the time. Note that some of the rooms are still being refurbished, but there's plenty to see. I'd recommend watching the movie they offer that tells the history of this family and how they made their fortune. You can see everything from the most opulent rooms down to the servants' quarters. Some rooms were a surprise like the pool room and the smoking room, others more expected like the library and dining room. The castle had the best of everything at the time, including plumbing and electricity. Sad that the man who built it passed away before he ever got to enjoy it. There was someone playing the piano when we were there, and that really brought the castle to life. You can purchase your tickets in the building next door, and restrooms are also located here. There's a small parking lot, and we were lucky enough to get a spot. We spent about two hours in total on the property. There are no gardens to see. Highly recommend for anyone interested in history. Would also be a great rainy day activity.
翻译:我们非常享受参观克雷格达罗奇城堡的过程。城堡共有四层,每层都有许多房间,里面陈列着精美的彩色玻璃窗、精美的木雕、历史文物以及各类艺术品。这些房间的布置宛如这家人仍住在那里一般,生动地展现了维多利亚时期一个富裕家庭的生活方式。需要注意的是,部分房间仍在翻修中,但仍有许多值得参观的地方。我建议观看他们提供的那部电影,里面讲述了这个家族的历史以及他们如何积累财富。影片中可以看到从最奢华的房间到仆人居住区的所有地方。有些房间令人惊喜,比如游泳池和吸烟室;而图书馆和餐厅则符合预期。这座城堡在当时拥有最先进的设施,包括自来水系统和电力。遗憾的是,建造这座城堡的人还没能享受其中就去世了。我们在那里的时候,正好有人正在弹钢琴,这真的让整个城堡焕发了生机。您可以在隔壁的建筑物中购买门票,洗手间也设在那里。这里有一个小型停车场,我们很幸运地找到了车位。我们在城堡里总共待了大约两个小时。城堡内没有可供游览的花园。强烈推荐给所有对历史感兴趣的人,在雨天来这里游玩也是个不错的选择。
