It is worthy of being an ancient castle inherited for nearly 500 years.
VALDI castle stands on the small hill next to the port of fishgard. Although this hill is not high, it is the highest area around fishgard. The castle stands on the top of the hills and faces the sea.
In fact, when Waldi's ancestors decided to build the castle here, it was to prevent the Dutch Navy and even the haunting pirates.
In the 17th century, it was a crucial moment for European countries to compete for the Atlantic. Whether it was the Anglo Dutch war, the Dutch war or the Anglo Spanish war, in that magnificent era, several coastal countries definitely turned human brains into dogs in order to completely control the Atlantic.
Coupled with the rampant Pirates of that era, it can be said that Britain in that era was actually located in the center of a big vortex.
When the ancestors of the Waldi family were baronized by Charles II, of course, they took on the responsibility of defending the homeland.
Therefore, Waldi's ancestors built this ancient castle with obvious Norman style on this hill near the port of fishgard. Fishgard is the base of the Waldi family and the hometown of the Waldi family. Naturally, the castle should be built here.
Although the small hills are not very high, they cover a large area. Waldi castle stands at the top of the small hills.
This castle, which was obviously built for military purposes, has a strong Norman style, that is, a kind of Roman style. Compared with the gorgeous Gothic style, the Norman style castle is obviously more suitable for military use.
The castle covers a very wide area. In order to build the castle, the top of the whole hill was almost flattened. And for better defense, the castle is not one layer, but divided into three layers.
From the hillside, a circle of tall and thick walls appeared. The gray wall is twenty feet high and ten feet thick. The whole body is made of huge granite. Although it has experienced nearly 500 years of wind and rain, it still gives people a feeling of massiness like a mountain.
Beyond this wall, there is a slightly lower wall inside, and the outer court area of the whole castle is formed between the two walls.
In those days, this circular outer court area could be used to garrison troops. In case of war, the soldiers between the two walls could quickly climb the outer wall to resist the attack of strong enemies.
However, the outer court used as a garrison in those years has now become an area of birds and flowers. Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang even saw a small golf course along the way
After passing the lower wall in the middle, you can enter the real core of the castle.
In the center of the castle, there is a main castle also made of granite, covering an area of 2000 square meters. The castle is a total of five stories high, almost 60 feet high, and the whole is in a "concave" shape.
Next to the main castle, there is a tower up to 70 feet high. In addition, there is a Gothic chapel next to the main castle.
"The castle covers a total area of 30 acres, and even if you look at the whole UK, it can rank the top." Butler is obviously familiar with the castle, or his preparations should be more adequate.
"It's just that the castle has belonged to the Waldi family since its completion, so the outside world doesn't know about the castle. I didn't fully understand how great the castle is until I accepted the entrustment to enter here." Butler whispered some things about the castle to Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang while waving his fist excitedly.
As Butler said, this ancient castle really deserves the word "great". Thirty acres of land covers an area of 120000 square meters and more than 180 Mu! This area alone is enough to shock most people.
The inner court of the castle is very clean. Although the Waldi family is no longer ready to live in the castle, there are still service personnel to maintain the daily hygiene of the castle.
Butler led Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang into the main castle. Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were shocked by the brilliant building structure inside the main castle for a long time without saying a word.
However, the Waldi family is obviously not going to continue to live here, because many decorations in the main castle have been taken down, and some furniture has been piled up, waiting for the Waldi family to pull out these valuable decorations and furniture.
Butler was obviously a man who liked the castle very much. After seeing these things, he stopped again, and his face showed an indescribable look with a trace of sadness.
After shaking his head, Butler took Yang Jing and them up the stairs. As they went upstairs, Butler whispered, "it's a pity that if Baron William waldy's investment had not failed, their family could still enjoy this beautiful castle."
Yang Jing asked curiously, "what exactly does Baron VALDI do? How can you lose this ancient castle if your investment fails?"
Butler said: "the Waldi family has a large industry, and I don't know some things. But I know one thing, does IKEA in Sweden know?"
Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang nodded. IKEA is the largest furniture retail enterprise in the world, and its name is very big.
"Mr. Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, has a very good relationship with Baron William Waldi's grandfather. To be exact, when Mr. Kamprad founded IKEA, Baron William Waldi's grandfather, that is, Baron William, was one of the main investors of IKEA. That is to say, at present, the largest individual shareholder of IKEA is the Waldi family …”
After a pause, Butler continued to whisper: "Unfortunately, Baron VALDI is not as smart as his grandfather and his father. After taking over the VALDI family, Baron William VALDI has made several failed decisions, resulting in a major crisis for the whole VALDI family. Up to now, Baron William VALDI can't even afford the maintenance cost of ￡ 2.8 million a year Just decided to sell this ancient castle... "
The Waldi family must be in an irresistible dilemma, otherwise the contemporary Baron Waldi would not decide to sell this valuable ancient castle to alleviate the family's economic crisis.
However, these things are too far away from Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang. Butler is willing to say that they are also happy to listen to a story.
Soon, the three reached the top of the main castle.
This floor is said to be an attic, which is actually different from the attic in the ordinary sense. This floor is located at the top of the main castle. Strictly speaking, it should also be regarded as one floor, but the floor height of this floor is a little lower, only more than two and a half meters. Compared with the floors above four meters, this floor really looks like an attic.
The sun is about to set. This floor is dark because the lights are not on. However, it can be seen that there are a lot of things piled up here, covered with dust. It is obvious that no one has taken care of this floor for a long time.
Because it is at the highest level and the ventilation is good, although no one has come up for a long time, it is not wet, but it is still relatively dry. The dust from time to time makes Yang Jing's nose itchy
