I think this is an interesting structure, but it also kind of gives me the creeps. Looks so dark and dank. Not cheerful. But, yes, an interesting structure. Just couldn’t picture myself living in it.
Hey Kristen- I wouldn’t want to live in it either. I mostly see it as a cool piece of art and amazing the amount of work that was put into it. I could see ‘the kids’ having a blast in it 🙂
This structure obviously took a lot of work. It looks like the majority of it is dry stack and that alone is noteworthy. I’m just sorry that the place isn’t being well maintained. The interior rooms need cleaning out and some attention, and the grounds are becoming overgrown diminishing the beauty of this tiny castle. It should be preserved for generations to come to enjoy this marvelous flight of fancy and creativity.
Thanks Lisa, you’re right.. Must take a lot of work to maintain!
It was totally charming on the outside, but the inside totally needs to be finished better. I’d love to see what someone could do to make that liveable. I agree that it is very dark and dank inside.
Agreed. Thanks Martha!
I agree, interesting but lacks the warm and fuzzy feeling, it would take a lot of work to bring that up to code…
Very true. Thanks Cindy!
I found the “castle” interesting but really couldn’t get a good look at anything. Whoever did the video seemed to skim over the inside of the rooms too quickly, didn’t understand why there were sideway shots, and it was shaky, plus the quick zoom in and out was irritating.
Thanks Helen. Yeah- I don’t think the camera person has done too many videos before but I was still glad to get to see what we could.
Almost all of my favorite architecture is illegal and (accordingly) secret. “Covert Cottages (and Castles)” would make a great subject for a book.
Agreed! Thanks, Jay! That is an awesome topic for a book.
Interesting. Not a single room ‘completed’ for anything resembling LIVING. Lovely outside (except for the over growth of weeds), but lots of construction (?) junk or left overs inside. Must have taken a long time to build; too bad the artist wasn’t also intending to become a householder and finished a kitchen, bath, bed and living room. No idea of the size of any of the rooms; the camera {WTH?} sideways shots? But interesting. I could “see” in my minds eye smoke coming out of what ‘could be’ chimneys. Alas I guess not…
What an incredible work of art. I can’t imagine the time and talent it took to create this. It is exquisite. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely delightful! Was this structure a barn…. ?? In Ireland….?? Was it only intended to be a folly..?
The Rumbul brand magnesium ‘bullets’ boluses given to cattle & sheep in the spring (in the UK) may be a hint…. At some point in its history it looks like it was used for animals.. Except, people don’t usually install exquisite windows in a barn… Maybe they died…got sick, or, ran out of funds to accomplish their goal… It happens.
I wonder what the age of the structure is…..??
Would the artist sell? I would love the challenge of completing his work and making it habitable.
This castle seems meant for the field mice, for possums, for owls and bats. The Queen Anne’s Lace lives on the entry paths; and ivy is slowly embracing the walls. The castle is grounded in the plants and the plants are shielding it. Tiny sparrows can flit in and out; while groundhogs can burrow deep for the winter. I would not change it. Let it become one with its surroundings. Yet, it should be cleaned a bit. Even a small furry thing will clean its nest. I see where spiders have come to appreciate the lovely stained glass and dusty motes of sunbeams. This is a magical place, built by a dreamer. The rains and snows, the breeze that blows, will inhabit this castle, knowing the rocks will last forever.
Thank-you for sharing. It reminds me of termite dwellings, on the same hand it is amazingly beautiful. So much energy put into this. A treat for the eyes. Incredible:)
Wow just wow, Patricia Chang said it all very Beautifully. I think the Artist is done. Enjoy what has been given. Be Well Children. ?
