Castle Ward
Castle / Castle
It´s a mansion rather than a castle, with a huge park area. Around 1760, the builders Anne and Bernard Ward could not agree whether the house should be built in the classicist or Gothic style. The front became classicistic and the side facing the lake Gothic. This continued inside the house and these incompatible tastes eventually led to the divorce of Lady and Lord. Incidentally, when the 6th Viscount died in 1950, the family could not afford the inheritance tax and had to hand everything over to the state. Once again a noble family with endless money worries.
