Beautiful venue with amazing history
Maison Dieu, Dover Town Hall的点评
点评:We visited Dover today to see the work undertaken by English Heritage on Maison Dieu after seeing it on the local news. It’s well worth a visit. Incredible local history dating back to 1200. This is several civic buildings including a courthouse, council chambers and town hall.
We were lucky to be shown around by Denise, who really makes the history come alive and was able to tell us so much about the buildings’ usage over many centuries, as well as how this tied into the history of Dover port and Kent.
The crowning glory is the restored town hall, which is still used today. There are some lovely photos of when it was used as a dance hall during WW2, and the pine sprung floor was a gift from the Canadians who had lots of soldiers based nearby.
Would definitely recommend. The staff and guides were brilliant and very welcoming.
翻译:今天我们在多佛尔参观了英国遗产委员会在当地新闻上报道的Maison Dieu的修复工作。它非常值得一游。当地历史悠久,可以追溯到1200年。这里有几座市政建筑,包括法院、议会厅和市政厅。
我们很幸运地在Denise的带领下参观了这里,她生动地展现了历史,并向我们详细讲述了这些建筑在过去几个世纪中的用途,以及它们与多佛尔港和肯特郡历史的联系。
最令人称道的是修复后的市政厅,至今仍在使用。有一些可爱的照片记录了它在二战期间被用作舞厅的情景,松木弹簧地板是加拿大人赠送的,因为附近有很多士兵驻扎。
绝对推荐。工作人员和导游都非常热情友好。
