Egeskov Slot Wiki

4/8/2022 admin

伊埃斯科城堡（ Egeskov Slot ）位于丹麦第二大岛菲英岛南部，建于1554年，是欧洲保存最好的文艺复兴风格的水边城堡。由于宗教改革引发的国内战争，大部分丹麦的贵族将他们的家建得象防御工事。城堡采用橡树桩基，建造在一个小湖边上，湖最深处达5米. Egeskov was first mentioned in 1405. The castle structure was erected by Frands Brockenhuus in 1554. Due to the troubles caused by the civil war known as the Count's Feud (Danish: Grevens fejde), general civil unrest, and a civil war introducing the Protestant Reformation, most Danish noblemen built their homes as fortifications. Egeskov castle (Danish: Egeskov Slot) stands on the oaken piles in the middle of the lake. It is believed that for building the foundation more than a thousand of trees (a whole forest!) had been cut down.

This fairytale castle, which is actually more than 450 years old, is located in a picturesque rural area of the Funen island.

Its construction was completed in 1554. It was a difficult period for Denmark: there were riots here and there. For this reason landowners built powerful castles that were difficult to invade. Egeskov castle (Danish: Egeskov Slot) stands on the oaken piles in the middle of the lake. It is believed that for building the foundation more than a thousand of trees (a whole forest!) had been cut down. Hence is the name Egeskov, which means oak forest in Danish.

The castle was built for defense. It consists of two long buildings connected by a thick double wall. The idea was that in case the attackers managed to invade first building, the defense would be continued in the second one. The second wall is so massive that it even has a place for passage to the hidden staircase and the well, which provided an access to water in case of a siege. In the outer wall there are embrasures, which allowed defenders to attack their enemies with boiling tar or water. Originally, the only access to the castle was by means of a drawbridge.

For many years the building belonged to different clans. In 1784 it was bought by Henrik Bille-Brahe, and since then the castle is at the disposal of his family. The present owner lives in the castle, so the visitors are not allowed to see the whole building.

But even the available rooms are extremely interesting! Impressive Hunting Room contains not only trophies brought back from British East Africa, but also weapons. The Banqueting Hall can be rented for exclusive events. It looks the way it was restored in 1975. In this hall there is a portrait of King Christian IV riding a horse. Visitors can also see the Rigborg Room. Here the daughter of the owner was kept in isolation for five years.

In the former shed there’s a museum of vintage cars. The whole history of transport — from horse-drawn carriages and steam cars, to modern cars — is displayed here. There are also museums of flying machines, agricultural machinery, dolls and clockwork toys.

About 100 years ago a unique dolls’ house was built for the owner’s daughter. It displays amazing interiors with real furniture. Now it stands in Rigborg Room and is called Titania’s Palace. It took father 15 years to complete the task!

The Loft is another very interesting place. Here you will find old toys, vintage kitchen equipment and a collection of porcelain and pottery. Also here lies a legendary wooden man. It is said that if he is moved from his position on the cushion, Egeskov will sink into the moat on Christmas Eve.

The castle’s park is on of the most beautiful in Denmark. In 1959 the restoration of ancient gardens started. But here you can also find trees and shrubs which are currently several hundred years old! The gardeners the best care of them.

Adventurous visitors can walk along a 100 meter high tree top trail which is located in an old birch forest. This unforgettable experience also allows to take the most impressive views of Egeskov.

In summer, the concerts of chamber music take place in the castle. If you are a slashing fellow, you can also fly on a hot air balloon! Everyone will find something interesting here according to his age!

Weak support - lovely composition, but I wonder if we could clean up the perspective distortion a bit. The walls seem to bulge outwards. Stevage 23:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Support - The picture itself is beautifully taken at a good angle. The picture is high-resolution. The fact that the walls seem to bulge outwards give the picture a slight 3D effect, which is something that I consider very pleasing to the eye. Maybe a small caption could be added.

Comment Some people and other stuff have been cloned out in this version, the original is at Image:Egeskov Slot spejling.jpg. --KFP(talk contribs) 01:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Neutral Focus is a little soft, there is to much of the tree/shrub on the right. bad focus on the left background isn't great but since it isn't the subject I cant complain that much. Other than that a good picture. -Fcb981 02:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Comment - This is the reason why we don't have enough FP. We're too picky and have a lot of time on our hand. --Arad
- Um, SHOULDN'T we be picky. We ARE trying to select the very finest pictures after all. I'd rather have 700 very good featured pictures than 1200 OK ones. -Fcb981 04:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Of course we should be picky. But a featured picture isn't just about hw it looks. What is also important is if it actually adds to the article. Is it a significant addition? Why do you think this picture would label as 'ok'? It gives an excellent overview of the architecture and is high-resolution. I personally don't think that the walls bulge outwards however, I don't think regular users who aren't experts or picky, will be when it comes to the minor,minor glitches of a high-resolution (I don't think this picture has glitches).

Support I checked the verticals and can't find any bulging walls that aren't the result of the architecture (note that circumference increases upwards, especially in the towers). The only thing I can't identify is an odd ~~yellow~~ dot to the right of the tower. Rest is well done and enc. I think the foliage in the foreground adds context. ~ trialsanderrors 05:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I think the yellow dot is a flag or something similar.--Arad 05:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  - It might be a leaf from the tree in the foreground since it's not mirrored in the lake. Since the picture has already been photoshopped I'd support removing it. ~ trialsanderrors 17:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
    - It does look like a leaf. I can't think of any possible yellow flag that could be associated with (the Counts of) Egeskov, so I wouldn't mind seeing it gone. Support btw. Valentinian^{T / C} 00:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's obviously a UFO. See the focus --⁪froth^T 05:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  - Oh, that's from the spire, right? I was looking at the dot to the right of the right tower, roughly at the level of the topmost window under the roof. The UFO on top of the spire looks like a weathervane. ~ trialsanderrors 06:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
    - The thing on the spire is indeed a brass weathervane. Valentinian^{T / C} 10:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Support - Nice architecture; I'd like to do this as a jigsaw. Oh, and that's definitely just a leaf there. Mrug²
Support per nom and others. This is a lovely pic, and gives a lot of information about the structure of the castle which you wouldn't get from a straight-on entrance view. Mak(talk) 17:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Support. Sharp, good color, pleasing composition, high enc. --Janke Talk 09:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Support very nicely done. I very much like the scene, the tree on the right is only a little prob. But all in all it is a very nice image, meets FP requirements. ~ Arjun 14:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Support excellent picture. Zarxos 16:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Support The castle appears under perfect conditions and makes for an amazing photo. The only way it could improve would be to crop a bit of the water out to add balance. No doubt FP worthy. - Nilington 08:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Support Good composition, technically great. ^HighInBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 15:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Support Great picture and meets all the criteria required for a Featured Picture. Christophenstein 20:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Oppose has anyone opened up the original and this version in two different tabs and jumped back and forth to compare? The person in the pink shirt is still faintly visible in the bushes. The cloning of the steps on the left side of the building has some bad repeating patterns, and the bench has been completely removed with some fictional object. Also, the composition is a little unbalanced with the foreground foliage on the right side.-Andrew c 03:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- No part of the subject itself has been modified, people were removed, a branch and the people on the bench was replaced by a bench. I think the image page should make these edits very clear, but I don't think it damages the encyclopedic value. ^HighInBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 03:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  - I added {{RetouchedPicture}} on the commons page. --Dschwen(A) 10:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Support Not bad. By the way, that dot's a UFO. ;-) · AO^Talk 00:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
