라나크 성 역사 요약.

19세기말 지어진 라나크 성은 은행가로 성공해 부를 축척했던 윌리엄 라나크(William Larnach)의 이름에서 비롯 되었다고 한다. 라나크는 그의; 아내를 위해서 이 성을 지었지만 프랑스 귀족 출신의 그의 아내는 성이 성이 완공되기 전에 사망하였다. 그래서 라나크의 말년도 비참해서 사업에 실폐한 뒤에 웰링톤 국회 의사당에서 자살로 생을 마감하고 만다.

 

성(Castle)이 지어지던 당시에는 세계 각국에서 들어 온 물건으로 실내를 장식했지만 우여곡절을 겪은 끝에 1967년 현재의 주인인 바커(Barker)가 성을 사서 보수를 한 뒤에 일반인에게 유료(성인 $13.5, 내부까지 관람 $29.00) 공개하고 있다.

 

초기에는 댄스홀로 사용되었던 곳이 지금은 레스터랑으로 바뀌었고, 멋지게 펼쳐 보이는 오타고 반도의 뷰를 감상하면서 하루를 묶을 수 있는 롯지(Lodge)도 운영하고 있다.

History of Larnach Castle in Dunedin

The house was built between 1871 and 1887 as the residence of William Larnach, a prominent entrepreneur and politician in colonial New Zealand. The first architect was R.A. Lawson, who was also responsible for many other buildings in Dunedin. The resulting complex eventually contained 43 rooms and a ballroom and required a staff of 46 servants. The ballroom was built as a 21st birthday present for Larnach's favourite daughter Kate in 1887. Kate died at the age of 26 of typhoid, and her ghost is still reputed to haunt the ballroom. The ghost of Larnach's first wife, Eliza, is also said by some to haunt the castle.

 

The building, which Larnach himself simply called "The Camp," did not ensure his happiness. After a series of personal and financial setbacks he committed suicide in New Zealand's Parliament Buildings in October 1898.

 

Following bitter legal battles over Larnach's will, Larnach Castle was sold in 1906.[4] The place went through constant changes of ownership and usage,[5] and after many years in which it fell into disrepair, it was bought by Barry and Margaret Barker in 1967 and has been restored. It affords spectacular views of the Otago Peninsula and Harbour and is 10 kilometres by road from the city centre.

 

In 1985 it was used as a location for the filming of the TVNZ Dunedin production "Hanlon". The same year, it was used in the introductory scenes in the US-New Zealand film co-production, Shaker Run. In 1994, a play about the Larnach family tragedies, titled "Larnach - Castle of Lies", was performed by Dunedin's Fortune Theatre before 100 invited guests in the castle ballroom.

 

Larnach Castle continues to be a significant tourist attraction in Dunedin. The owners have acquired another modern house nearby, whose design is a revived form of the city's Victorian tradition. The expanded complex successfully trades on the old building's reputation - a sign of its enduring interest. The building has been visited by paranormal investigators and featured on local New Zealand television shows such as ”Ghost Hunt” and ”Spookers” as well as international television shows such as the American ”Ghost Hunters International”.

 

According to an article in the New Zealand Herald, as of November 2008, there had been close to 30 reported sightings of “cranky spirits”, “touches”, “pushing” and other “odd occurrences” at the castle.
