| dbo:abstract | Castle Mont Rouge is a castle located on Red Mountain in Rougemont, North Carolina, north of Durham. The castle was designed by American sculptor Robert Mihaly, known for his work at Duke University and the National Cathedral, as a private residence and country studio. The design was based on architecture from Central and Eastern Europe, complete with 18 pinnacles and a turret. Robert Mihaly began construction of Castle Mont Rouge without a blueprint in the year 2000. He lived in one of the finished rooms and was joined by long-time partner, Caroline Smith, whom he met in 2003 and who described living there as "whimsical fun, enigmatic, and romantic". The castle was abandoned in 2006, although a fundraising campaign featuring Mihaly's two children was launched to fund renovating it in 2014. The castle was still abandoned as of 2016. Mihaly began restoring the castle in 2017, citing his desire to finish it while his children are still children. The castle has been cited as a Disney-like fairytale castle, an abandoned or deserted castle, a haunted American castle, a quirky North Carolina destination, and the most bizarre building in North Carolina. Much rumor and lore has been built around Castle Mont Rouge and its creator, Robert Mihaly. Mihaly referenced the rumor about the death of his wife in a televised news story, acknowledging that he is not a widower. (en) El castillo Mont Rouge es un castillo ubicado en Rougemont (Carolina del Norte), Estados Unidos, al norte de Durham. Mont Rouge está situado justo en el tramo final de un extenso camino de montañas, pasando por casas y remolques. El castillo fue diseñado por el escultor estadounidense Robert Mihaly, conocido por su trabajo en la Universidad Duke y la Catedral nacional de Washington, como residencia privada y estudio rural. El diseño se basó en la arquitectura de Europa Central y Oriental, constituido por 18 pináculos y una torre. Robert Mihaly comenzó la construcción del castillo Mont Rouge sin un plano en el año 2000. Vivía en una de las habitaciones terminadas y se le unió su pareja de mucho tiempo, Caroline Smith, a quien conoció en 2003. El castillo fue abandonado en 2006, aunque se lanzó una campaña de recaudación de fondos con los dos hijos de Mihaly para financiar la renovación en 2014. En 2016, el castillo todavía estaba abandonado. Desde entonces, se convirtió en el lugar de grafiteros que marcaron gran parte de la edificación, además, presentaba deterioro en los pisos y desechos naturales propios del entorno. Mihaly comenzó a restaurar el castillo en 2017, citando su deseo de terminarlo mientras sus hijos aún eran niños. Mont Rouge ha sido citado como un castillo de cuento de hadas similar a Disney, un castillo abandonado o desierto, un castillo estadounidense embrujado, un peculiar destino de Carolina del Norte y el edificio más extraño de Carolina del Norte. Se han construido muchos rumores y tradiciones en torno al castillo Mont Rouge y su creador, Robert Mihaly. Mihaly hizo referencia al rumor sobre la muerte de su esposa a través de una noticia transmitida por televisión, donde reconoció que no es viudo. Desde mediados de marzo de 2021, el camino que conduce hacia la edificación está bloqueado por una puerta y es propiedad privada. Solo es accesible a través de un permiso. (es) |
