Чатсуорт-хаус

Дербишир-Дейлс

Чатсуорт-хаус в Дербишире — один из самых пышных «домов-сокровищниц» Англии, на протяжении столетий служивший главной резиденцией герцогов Девонширских из семейства Кавендишей. Это редкий для Англии пример эстетики барокко, по утончённости архитектурных и декоративных решений соперничающий с Бленимским дворцом и замком Говардов. Возведение дворца начал в 1687 году 1-й герцог Девонширский — потомок Бесс из Хардвика, построившей близлежащий Хардвик-холл. Для строительства своей резиденции он нанял ведущих архитекторов своего времени, знакомых с континентальной барочной традицией, — Уильяма Тальмана и Уильяма Арчера. Последний также спроектировал ряд садовых павильонов, включая известный дом-водопад . В середине XIX века садовником герцога Девонширского служил Джозеф Пакстон, известный как строитель Хрустального дворца в Лондоне. На территории Чатсвортского парка он создавал водопады и другие новаторские конструкции, поражавшие воображение современников, а для одного из визитов в Чатсворт королевы Виктории первым в Европе вырастил в специально построенной для этой цели оранжерее чудо-растение — амазонскую викторию. Поколение за поколением герцогов Девонширских наполняли семейное гнездо бесценными произведениями искусства. После Второй мировой войны выяснилось, что поместье обременено долгами в 7 млн фунтов, и значительную часть собрания пришлось пустить с молотка. В настоящее время содержание Чатсуорт-хауса финансируется за счёт привлечения туристов и сдачи территории в аренду для съёмок фильмов .

For a brief period the house was let to tenants, one of whom was Lord Curzon, who lived at the house with his mistress, the novelist Elinor Glyn. In 1927, it was acquired by the National Trust. The house is maintained by the National Trust. Its Long Gallery, the longest in England, serves as a South-West outpost of the National Portrait Gallery displaying a skilful and well-studied range of old oils and watercolours.
