Chateau Laroche (original) (raw)
Château Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River north of Loveland, Ohio, United States.

He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

| dbo:abstract | Château Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River north of Loveland, Ohio, United States. Built in the style of a Medieval castle, construction began in the 1920s by Boy Scout troop leader, World War I veteran, and medievalist Harry D. Andrews. He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Andrews named his castle after a military hospital in the Château de la Roche in southwest France, where he was stationed during the First World War. Its name means "Rock Castle" in French. For over fifty years, Andrews worked on his castle project. He pulled stones from the nearby Little Miami River, and when that supply was exhausted, molded bricks with cement and quart milk cartons. When Andrews died in 1981, he willed the castle to his Boy Scout troop the Knights of the Golden Trail (KOGT).The Castle has been extensively upgraded and renovated in the years since Andrews' death and has been mostly completed by the KOGT. The East tower now houses a short video presentation on Andrews' quest to finish his dream. The walls of the upstairs chapel feature many stones brought back by Andrews in his world travels and others sent to him from foreign locations by his friends and followers. Recently completed are an expansion to the outside gardens and a greenhouse. Tales of the castle being haunted – often coming from Chateau Laroche's own volunteer knights – have been reported over the years. (en) El Castillo Laroche, también conocido como Castillo Loveland es un pequeño castillo y museo situado en Ohio, Estados Unidos. Además de ser un castillo, también es un museo a orillas del río Little Miami en Loveland, Ohio. La construcción comenzó en 1929 por las tropas de Boy Scouts, Harry Andrews. Él construyó el castillo en dos parcelas libres de la tierra que sus exploradores obtuvieron mediante el pago de las suscripciones de un año para The Cincinnati Enquirer. Cuando Andrews murió en 1981, legó el castillo a su tropa de Boy Scouts de los Caballeros del Camino de Oro (KOGT). El castillo ha sido ampliamente mejorado y renovado desde la muerte de Andrés y ha sido en su mayoría completado por el KOGT. La torre oriental alberga una breve presentación en vídeo en la búsqueda de Andrews para terminar su sueño. Algunas piedras que conforman la capilla (ubicada en el segundo piso) fueron traídas por Andrews en sus viajes por el mundo. El castillo se compone de varios jardines y también contiene un invernadero. El castillo goza de una gran variedad de zonas verdes y se pueden apreciar flores de gran tamaño, árboles, arbustos, jardines, gramas, entre otros. Hay quienes dicen que el castillo se encuentra embrujado. (es) |
