点评:Beautiful grounds; the detail throughout the castle is amazing. Some of the original wood is beyond what you can imagine aquiring these days, shipped in from all over the world. The fine details!! From hand carved wood, to rounded pocket doors to align with the room shape, to each side of a door having opposite wood types to match the rooms they are seen in. Just outstanding architectural design inside and out!
Jackie did an excellent job leading the tour of about 15 people, telling stories, offering information and answering questions. The tour last lasted over an hour and a half, starting with a 10-minute video on the history of the property and how the Joslyns came to settle in Omaha. We had some time to walk around and explore the rooms on each floor while the docent waited. No rushing through this tour. The $20 tour can be paid directly at the castle entrance.
翻译:庭院非常美丽;城堡内各处的细节设计都令人惊叹。有些原始木材的质量之好,简直难以想象如今还能买到,这些木材都是从世界各地运来的。那些精致的细节啊!!从手工雕刻的木制品,到与房间形状相契合的圆弧形暗门,再到门的两侧分别使用不同种类的木材来与所处房间的风格相匹配。无论从内部还是外部来看,其建筑设计都堪称卓越!
Jackie带领大约15人的参观团进行游览,讲了许多有趣的故事,表现十分出色。提供信息并解答疑问。这次参观持续了一个半小时以上,一开始播放了一段10分钟的视频,介绍这座庄园的历史以及乔斯林家族是如何定居在奥马哈的。之后,在导游的等候下,我们有时间在各层楼间漫步并参观各个房间。整个参观过程从容不迫,毫无匆忙之感。20美元的参观费用可直接在城堡入口处支付。
