Castillo de ladrillo medieval en Inglaterra

National Trust - Castillo de Tattershall: Un castillo de ladrillo medieval con una historia real

Visita a Tattershall Castle

El Castillo de Tattershall es un impresionante castillo medieval en el condado de Lincolnshire, Inglaterra. Es uno de los castillos de ladrillo mejor conservados del país y un ejemplo destacado de la arquitectura del siglo XV. Hoy en día, el castillo es administrado por National Trust y atrae a visitantes con su fascinante historia, su imponente arquitectura y su entorno pintoresco.

Historia de Tattershall Castle

Antecedentes históricos
Los orígenes del Castillo de Tattershall se remontan al siglo XIII, cuando el primer castillo en este lugar fue construido por Robert de Tattershall. Originalmente estaba hecho de madera y luego de piedra. En el siglo XV, el castillo fue ampliamente reconstruido por Ralph Cromwell, el tercer Barón Cromwell, y adquirió su distintiva estructura de ladrillo. Cromwell, el tesorero del Rey Enrique VI, construyó el castillo como una residencia representativa que simbolizaba su riqueza y poder.

Arquitectura de Tattershall Castle

Después de la muerte de Cromwell, el castillo cambió de propietario varias veces y cayó en decadencia a lo largo de los siglos. Durante la Guerra Civil Inglesa en el siglo XVII, el Castillo de Tattershall fue parcialmente destruido. En el siglo XIX, el edificio fue salvado de la demolición cuando el rico coleccionista de arte Lord Curzon lo compró y restauró. Esto aseguró la preservación del castillo y posteriormente lo dejó en manos de National Trust, que lo administra hasta hoy.

Arquitectura y características especiales
El Castillo de Tattershall es un ejemplo único del uso de ladrillo en la arquitectura de castillos medievales. Mientras que muchos castillos de Inglaterra fueron construidos con caliza o arenisca, Tattershall fue construido con millones de ladrillos hechos a mano, lo que le otorga una apariencia distintiva.

Algunos aspectos arquitectónicos destacados del castillo son:
- La imponente torre principal: El corazón del castillo, una torre residencial de seis pisos con magníficas chimeneas, trabajos originales en piedra y una terraza espectacular.
- La impresionante escalera de caracol: Una de las mejores y más grandes escaleras de caracol medievales en Inglaterra.
- Las magníficas chimeneas: Destacan las chimeneas bellamente decoradas que reflejan la riqueza de Cromwell.
- Las almenas y fortificaciones: La altura del castillo y sus robustos muros dan testimonio de su antigua importancia estratégica.

Desde la terraza del Gran Torreón se puede disfrutar de una vista panorámica impresionante de los alrededores de Lincolnshire.

El entorno del Castillo de Tattershall
El castillo está situado en un paisaje encantador con jardines bien cuidados y un foso que solía ser utilizado para la defensa. Cerca se encuentran:
- Tattershall Church: Una iglesia gótica con impresionantes vitrales y conexiones históricas con el castillo.
- Tattershall Lakes: Una pintoresca área natural con lagos que invita a paseos en bote y caminatas.
- Las ruinas de la antigua muralla: Los restos de las antiguas fortificaciones.

Experiencia para los visitantes
El Castillo de Tattershall ofrece una variedad de experiencias para los amantes de la historia y las familias:
- Visitas guiadas y exposiciones: La historia del castillo y sus habitantes cobra vida a través de visitas informativas.
- Actividades interactivas: Los visitantes pueden explorar armaduras y armas medievales o participar en prácticas de tiro con arco.

Castle is lovely and views are brilliant, can see so far and went on such a lovely day. Parking available. The only downside is not much else to do. Not that that is a major issue as it’s nice to just take in the view!

I walked by it recently when visiting friends and it came up on my time.. although I have had the pleasure of being there in the past.. it's well worth a visit to explore the upper part with its amazing views of the surrounding area..

A nice scenic outside area, a spiral staircase that leads different rooms and an amazing view from the top. Tattershall castle is well worth the visit if you're staying around the area.

Another lovely National Trust property worth visiting. Such a lot of stairs to get up to the top, when you do reach the top, you get such lovely views across Lincolnshire. Definitely worth all the stairs.

A very well preserved red brick keep. This castle would of looked amazing when it was complete. I sometimes wish I had a time machine just so I could visit some of these historic places. The sights and sounds this place would of witnessed. The stairs are a fun challenge, we managed to go to the top with our 3 year old going step step step for 150 odd steps.....then jump jump jump all the way down. It has a good variety of graffiti also on the stairs. From 18th century to "Dan woz ere 21" it's a good example of just how illiterate and lacklust our writing has become. I drove down the wrong lane to the carpark though and ended up outside the doors to the church. Use the left lane not the lane straight in front. The church is also well worth a visit. It's full of gorgeous architecture and a beautiful vaulted wooden ceiling. We didn't explore all the castle and grounds as we was short on time but we will definitely come back. . .I recommend becoming a national trust member so you can visit this place and others as many times as you want.

We are NR members and have visited many NT properties, we felt that Tattershall Castle needs some TLC. The signage is very poor, the information and presentation were extremely poor. This is a real shame as it has the potential to be very special

Went on a Sunday. Lots of parking. The description on the website and Word of mouth didn't give us a particularly good impression. However the whole family thought it was absolutely fantastic ! The castle, church and surrounding area are beautiful. The spiral staircase maybe a bit much for some but when you get to the top it has exceptional views and is very rewarding. Definitely on our 'go again' list.

Better than we expected,a large church onsite firstly and then castle amazing fab large moat around the site and everything is very well kept, we were lucky to have a guided tour, the guy was brilliantly dressed in a period costume and knowledgeable, definitely worth a visit especially for the views from the top of the castle roof

Second visit to this national trust site. Lots of history. Not sure if there was an audio set here but that would have made it even more interesting. Keep a look out for all the graffiti, incredible!

Wow such an amazing building. Visited here at the weekend, and walked right to the top, there is loads of history and some brilliant stories to hear, the sheer size of each floor and the stunning views make this a fantastic place to see. Need to be a National Trust member or pay the NT entry fee

Dit kasteel is van buiten prachtig om te zien en is mooi gelegen. Van binnen zijn de verdiepingen vrij leeg. De klim naar boven is vanwege het uitzicht wel de moeite waard. Je kunt o.a. de kerktoren en de stad Boston goed zien. Het is onderdeel van de National Trust en met de explorer pass gratis te bezoeken.

Wish there were a few more exhibits from past centuries, ie furniture, furnishings, perhaps cooking utensils or the like. It would give a better representation of life in the times of occupation.

Visited here after staying nearby. The castle is impressive. Although there isn't a lot to do once you're there, apart from admiring the views from the battlements. The church next to the castle is just as interesting and is free.
