Chatsworth House

Atracción | Bakewell | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

Chatsworth House en Bakewell, Derbyshire, es un destacado ejemplo de arquitectura de casa de campo inglesa y un importante patrimonio cultural. Desde el siglo XVI ha estado en posesión de la familia Cavendish y actualmente sirve como residencia del Duque de Devonshire.

Historia y arquitectura

La finca fue construida por primera vez en 1549 por Sir William Cavendish y ha sido ampliada y remodelada varias veces a lo largo de los siglos. La estructura actual combina elementos del barroco inglés con estilos arquitectónicos posteriores y cuenta con más de 175 habitaciones, incluyendo suntuosos salones de recepción, habitaciones privadas y una impresionante biblioteca con 17,500 volúmenes.

Colección de arte

Chatsworth House alberga una de las colecciones de arte privadas más importantes de Gran Bretaña. La colección abarca 4,000 años e incluye obras de artistas como Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Canaletto y Lucian Freud. Destaca especialmente la galería de esculturas, que presenta obras de Antonio Canova, Bertel Thorvaldsen y Rudolf Schadow y es considerada una de las mayores colecciones privadas de esculturas clasicistas en Inglaterra.

Jardines y parques

Los jardines de Chatsworth se extienden por 105 acres y son una obra maestra de la jardinería. Diseñados por Lancelot "Capability" Brown en el siglo XVIII, ofrecen una mezcla armoniosa de áreas formales e informales, incluyendo el jardín de la cascada, el jardín de bodas y el jardín de hierbas. Un punto destacado es la fuente, que con una altura de 90 metros es una de las fuentes de agua más altas en Gran Bretaña.

Filmaciones

Chatsworth House ha sido escenario de varias películas, incluyendo la adaptación de "Orgullo y prejuicio" de 2005, donde aparece como Pemberley, la finca de Mr. Darcy. También se filmaron escenas de la película "La duquesa" de 2008, que trata sobre la vida de Georgiana Cavendish, duquesa de Devonshire, en Chatsworth.

Información para visitantes

Chatsworth House está abierto durante todo el año para visitantes y ofrece una variedad de actividades, incluyendo visitas guiadas a la casa y los jardines, talleres y eventos para niños, así como exposiciones estacionales. La finca cuenta con varios cafés y restaurantes que sirven especialidades locales, así como tiendas donde se pueden adquirir artesanías y recuerdos.

En resumen, Chatsworth House es un destino fascinante para los interesados en el arte y la historia, y ofrece una profunda visión de la cultura e historia británicas.

I absolutely love Chatsworth a fantastic place to see the art and contents of the house are just wow. Been to the Christmas market and thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices for every pocket food bit expensive we took our own. We took a cheeky hip flask for hot chocolate hehe. It's definitely worth visiting I will go at Christmas again, it made me day very snowy dress warmly.

Great walks around chatsworth and beeley with a lovely coffee from the shop.at chatsworth house. Disabilities: can be difficult to take some of the walking routes around the bumpy tracks without the right equipment. Always tell someone where you are and make sure you have good phone battery just incase. I am unsure of access in and around the house.

Well I will never take me my family to this place ever again I seen a video of the fire and safety manager Chris Simpson in charge of keeping the public safe I have seen him bullying a youtuber he seems very arsgsnt and ignorant to the purpose of his job I get that they might not like drones over such a lovely place but legally there's nothing can be done about it he was seen pushing the drone pilot while he wàs fly very silly thing to do if he dlip that drone could come flying down on Ur kids he was very immature and he is old enough to know better on top of all this he attempted to kick the guys drone while he was trying to land see the YouTube video here. On youtube manager trust to kick drone 38 k views and it was done in the Xmas season at night this man is not capable of keeping us safe at all it's a disgrace

Worth the chats in this house!... The Guides are friendly and will willingly engage in conversation and answer your questions. The house has some fascinating objects inside and outside. As you would expect, there are hidden stories behind objects, room themes, portraits etc - ask the guides - you will find this really worth doing, it's truly a remarkable place. The gardens are out of this world. I cannot wait to explore all of it again. Great fun and great for all the family. There are lifts in the house, and bookable vehicles to help those enjoy the house and gardens with mobility issues. I witnessed the staff being very helpful to a number of people on our visit.
