Slane Review

The castle is a castle in Slani, a private castle belonging to the Royal Irish nobles, and now a museum, with a restaurant in the basement. The whole castle is built of stones, very strong, and definitely a place to visit.

Slani's Slane castle is an ancient castle with a history of more than 800 years, and there is a large area of his original lawn scenery here. The decoration inside the castle is also very elegant, with many expensive paintings and furniture. The bottom floor has been developed into a high-end restaurant, and the surrounding walls make this restaurant have a different style, which is worth experiencing.

在爱尔兰见过了太多城堡，但对我来说最喜欢的是斯莱恩城堡（Slane Castle），这个属于爱尔兰贵族Conyngham家族的城堡门外和蜿蜒的博因河之间，有一片开阔而带有坡地的天然草坪。 城堡的主人亨利伯爵一定是最狂热也最幸福的超级摇滚乐迷，从1981开始，他在这片草坪上发起举办过N场演唱会，囊括了一大串在摇滚及流行音乐史上星光熠熠的名字——U2、滚石、枪花、红辣椒、皇后、大卫·鲍伊、尼尔·扬、鲍勃·迪伦、桑塔纳、斯普林斯汀、R.E.M、Oasis、Bon Jovi……这儿的常客是伟大的U2乐队，1984年U2在城堡里居住了半年，并写下了他们的专辑《难以忘记的火焰》。巧的是7年之后，斯莱恩城堡真的失了一场火，好在火灾不会对这种石制的城堡主体造成损伤，2001年修复完成后又重新开放。城堡里摆放着已经存在了数百年的家具、陈设和老照片，但我最爱的是那些窗户，窗外葱郁的丘陵望不到尽头，就像挂了一幅风景画。当每年城堡外的草地上举办演唱会的时候，每一扇朝向舞台的窗户，恐怕也都会是抢破头的绝佳位置。
