Дворец Холируд ( / ч ɒ л ɪ ˌ г ¯u д / или / ч oʊ л ɪ ˌ г ¯u д / [1] ), как правило , называют дворец Холируд или Холируд , является официальной резиденцией из британского монарха в Шотландии . Расположен у подножия Королевской Мили в Эдинбурге , на противоположном конце Эдинбургского замка., Холируд является главной королевской резиденцией Шотландии с 16 века, а также местом проведения государственных мероприятий и официальных мероприятий.

В начале каждого лета королева Елизавета II проводит одну неделю в резиденции в Холирудхаусе, где проводит ряд официальных мероприятий и церемоний. Исторические апартаменты 16-го века Марии, королевы Шотландии , и государственные апартаменты, используемые для официальных и государственных мероприятий, открыты для публики в течение всего года, за исключением случаев, когда члены королевской семьи находятся в резиденции.

Архитектура [ править ]

Четырехугольник, разработанный сэром Уильямом Брюсом, нарисованный в 1850-х годах [2] и в том виде, в каком он выглядит сегодня.

Холирудский дворец в его нынешнем виде был построен в период с 1671 по 1678 год в виде четырехугольника, приблизительно 230 футов (70 м) с севера на юг и 230 футов (70 м) с востока на запад, за исключением XVI века. северо-западная башня построена Джеймсом V . Сэр Уильям Брюс спроектировал классический трехэтажный дворец с мансардой для Карла II., после восстановления монархии. Главный вход расположен на западном фасаде в углубленном двухэтажном ряду, который соединяет северо-западную башню 16-го века с соответствующей юго-западной башней, каждая с парой круглых угловых башен с коническим колоколом со шаровидным окончанием. литые крыши. Входные ворота обрамлены массивными спаренными римскими дорическими колоннами с резным Королевским гербом Шотландии и восьмиугольным куполом с циферблатом наверху.

Северный и южный фасады имеют симметричные трехэтажные фасады, возвышающиеся за левым и правым краями двухэтажного хребта с правильным расположением пролетов. Капитальный ремонт был завершен архитектором Робертом Ридом в период с 1824 по 1834 год, который включал частичную перестройку юго-западной угловой башни и облицовку всего южного фасада каменной кладкой в соответствии с восточной. [3] На восточном (заднем) фасаде 17 пролетов с слегка наложенными пилястрами трех классических порядков.на каждом этаже. Руины церкви аббатства соединяются с дворцом в северо-восточном углу. Для внутреннего четырехугольника Брюс спроектировал колоннаду из девяти арок на северном, южном и восточном фасадах с пилястрами, опять же из трех классических ордеров, чтобы указать на важность трех основных этажей. Простой дорический ордер используется для служб на первом этаже, ионический ордер используется для государственных покоев на первом этаже, а сложный коринфский ордер используется для королевских покоев на втором этаже. [4]

Architectural historian Dan Cruickshank selected the palace as one of his eight choices for the 2002 BBC book The Story of Britain's Best Buildings.[5]

Interior[edit]

The rooms open to the public include the 17th-century state apartments and Great Gallery, and the 16th-century apartments in the James IV's Tower (to the north-west).

17th-century apartments[edit]

The landing of the Great Stair.
The Royal Dining Room.

The Great Stair in the south-west corner of the quadrangle has a 17th-century Baroque ceiling featuring plaster angels holding the Honours of Scotland. The Italian paintings on the walls are fragments of frescoes painted circa 1550 by Lattanzio Gambara, illustrating scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. They were bought by Prince Albert in 1856, and placed here in 1881.[6] At the top of the stair is the Royal Dining Room, formerly part of the Queen's apartments. The Adam style decoration dates from around 1800, when this was part of the Duke of Hamilton's apartment.[7]

The King's apartments occupied the whole of the south and east sides of the quadrangle. Accessed from the Great Stair, the suite of rooms comprising a guard hall, presence chamber, privy chamber, antechamber, bedchamber and closet. The level of privacy, as well as the richness of decoration, increased in sequence. From the visit of George IV in 1822, the guard hall has been used as a throne room, and the order of rooms reversed. The Evening Drawing Room and Morning Drawing Room occupy the former presence chamber and privy chamber, and retain their rich 17th-century ceilings. The Morning Drawing Room is hung with French tapestries bought by Charles II, and is used for private ceremonies.[8] The King's Antechamber, Bedchamber and Closet are laid out along the east side of the palace. The King's Bedchamber, at the centre of the east façade, has the finest of the 17th-century plaster ceilings, augmented by paintings of Hercules by Jacob de Wet II. The 17th-century bed was made for the Duke of Hamilton, although it was long referred to as "Queen Mary's Bed" when it occupied the older Queen's rooms.[9]

The Great Gallery, the largest room in the palace, links the King's Closet with the former Queen's apartments in the west range. The gallery is decorated with 110 portraits of the Scottish monarchs, beginning with the legendary Fergus I, who supposedly ruled from 330 BC.[10]The portraits were all completed between 1684 and 1686 by Jacob de Wet II. This collection celebrated the royal bloodline of Scotland which the Scots upheld for its continuity and antiquity as an important part of their national identity in the seventeenth century.[11] Scotland's representative peers in the House of Lords were elected here from 1707 to 1963. Bonnie Prince Charlie held evening balls in the gallery during his brief occupation, and it later became a Catholic chapel for the Comte d'Artois. Today it is used for large functions including investitures and banquets.[12]

James V's Tower[edit]

Bird's-eye view of Holyrood Palace and Abbey, including the western towers

The suite of rooms on the first floor of the north-west tower comprises an audience chamber, accessed from a lobby next to the Great Gallery, and a bedroom, leading from which are two turret rooms or closets. These rooms were occupied by Lord Darnley in the 16th century, and later formed part of the Queen's apartment in the reconstructed palace, before being taken over by the Duke of Hamilton from 1684.[13] Queen Mary occupied an identical suite of rooms on the second floor of the tower: the bedchambers are linked by a private spiral stair. The Queen's outer chamber contains her oratory, and was the scene of the murder of David Rizzio, after he was dragged from the supper table in the northern turret room.[14] В более поздние века туристы часто убеждались, что видят пятна крови на полу.

[15]

Сады и территории [ править ]

The gardens of the palace extend to some 10 acres (4.0 ha), set within the much larger Holyrood Park. In the 16th-century a privy garden was located to the north of the palace, accessed via a wooden gallery from the north-west tower. This was removed in the 19th century when Prince Albert took an interest in the grounds, forming a new carriage drive to the north to avoid the Canongate slums and laying out the garden in its present form.[16]

Небольшое садовое здание, сохранившееся с XVI века, известно как баня королевы Марии, хотя не считается, что оно использовалось для купания. [17] Солнечные часы к северу от дворца были вырезаны в 1633 году Джоном Милном , [17] в то время как фонтан во дворе является копией 19-го века фонтана 16-го века во дворце Линлитгоу . [18] Металлические ворота и декоративные ширмы ( Джордж Вашингтон Браун ) были возведены в 1920-х годах вместе со статуей Эдуарда VII (работы Генри Снелла Гэмли ), открытой Георгом V в 1922 году [19].

The buildings to the west of the palace, are the 19th-century guardhouse which replaced the tenements of a debtors' sanctuary, and adjacent to this, the former Holyrood Free Church and Duchess of Gordon's School, built in the 1840s. These buildings were converted into the Queen's Gallery in 2002 to display works of art from the Royal Collection.

There was formerly a Keeper of Holyrood Park, and the title was held on an hereditary basis by the Earls of Haddington. This was purchased by the Crown and the office extinguished in 1843 after disputes over the Keeper's right to allow quarrying within the Park.

In 1987 the Holyrood Palace and Park were added to the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[20]

"Big Royal Dig"[edit]

The Palace of Holyroodhouse, along with Buckingham Palace Garden and Windsor Castle, was excavated on 25–28 August 2006 as part of a special edition of Channel 4's archaeology series Time Team. The archaeologists uncovered part of the cloister of Holyrood Abbey, running in line with the existing abbey ruins, and a square tower associated with the 15th-century building works of James IV was discovered. The team failed to locate evidence of the real tennis court used by Queen Mary to the north of the palace, as the area had been built over in the 19th century. An area of reddened earth was discovered, which was linked with the Earl of Hertford's burning of Holyrood during the Rough Wooing of 1544. Among the objects found were a seal matrix used to stamp the wax seal on correspondence or documents,[21] and a French double tournois coin, minted by Gaston d'Orleans in 1634.[22]

History[edit]

12th–15th centuries[edit]

The ruins of the Augustinian Holyrood Abbey

Разрушенный августинцев Холируд аббатство , которое расположено на территории был основан в 1128 году по приказу царя Давида I Шотландии . Название происходит либо от легендарного видения креста, засвидетельствованного Давидом I, либо от реликвии Истинного Креста, известной как Священный Крест или Черный Крест , который принадлежал Святой Маргарите , матери Давида. [23] Как королевский фонд, расположенный недалеко от Эдинбургского замка , он стал важным административным центром. В 1177 г. здесь был принят папский легат, а в 1189 г. собрался дворянский совет, чтобы обсудить выкуп за пленного короля Вильгельма Льва . [24] Роберт Брюс held a parliament at the abbey in 1326, and by 1329 it may already have been in use as a royal residence. In 1370, David II became the first of several Kings of Scots to be buried at Holyrood. Not only was James II born at Holyrood in 1430, it was at Holyrood that he was crowned, married and laid to rest.[24] James III and Margaret of Denmark were married at Holyrood in 1469.[23] The early royal residence was in the abbey guesthouse, which most likely stood on the site of the present north range of the palace, west of the abbey cloister,[24] and by the later 15th century already had dedicated royal apartments.[23]

16th century[edit]

Between 1501 and 1505, James IV constructed a new Gothic palace adjacent to the abbey. The impetus for the work probably came from the marriage of James IV to Margaret Tudor, which took place in the abbey in August 1503 while work was still ongoing.[23] The palace was built around a quadrangle, situated west of the abbey cloister. It contained a chapel, gallery, royal apartments, and a great hall. The chapel occupied the north range of the quadrangle, with the Queen's apartments occupying part of the south range.[24]

The west range contained the King's lodgings and the entrance to the palace. The master mason Walter Merlioun built a two-storey gatehouse, fragments of which survive in the Abbey Courthouse.[25] In 1512 a lion house was constructed to house the king's menagerie, which included a lion and a civet among other exotic beasts.[26] James V added to the palace between 1528 and 1536, beginning with the present north-west tower to provide new royal apartments. This was followed by reconstruction of the south and west ranges of the palace in the Renaissance style, with a new chapel in the south range. The former chapel in the north range was converted into the Council Chamber, where ceremonial events normally took place.[24] The west range contained the royal library and a suite of rooms, extending the royal apartments in the tower.[27] The symmetrical composition of the west façade suggested that a second tower at the south-west was planned, though this was never executed at the time.[28] Around a series of lesser courts were ranged the Governor's Tower, the armoury, the mint, a forge, kitchens and other service quarters.[28]

In 1544, during the War of the Rough Wooing, the Earl of Hertford sacked Edinburgh, and Holyrood was looted and burned. Repairs were made, but the altars were destroyed by a Reforming mob in 1559.[27] After the Scottish Reformation was formalised, the abbey buildings were neglected, and the choir and transepts of the abbey church were pulled down in 1570. The nave was retained as the parish church of the Canongate.[27]

The Murder of David Rizzio, painted in 1833 by William Allan.

The royal apartments in the north-west tower of the palace were occupied by Mary, Queen of Scots, from her return to Scotland in 1561 to her forced abdication in 1567. The Queen had archery butts erected in her private gardens to allow her to practice, and hunted deer in Holyrood Park. It was at Holyrood that the series of famous interviews between the Queen and John Knox took place, and she married both of her Scottish husbands in the palace: Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, in 1565 in the chapel, and James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, in 1567 in the great hall.[29] It was in the Queen's private apartments that she witnessed the murder of David Rizzio, her private secretary, on 9 March 1566. Darnley and several nobles entered the apartment via the private stair from Darnley's own apartments below. Bursting in on the Queen, Rizzio and four other courtiers, who were at supper, they dragged the Italian through the bedchamber into the outer chamber, where he was stabbed 57 times.[30]

During the subsequent Marian civil war, on 25 July 1571, William Kirkcaldy of Grange bombarded the Palace with cannon placed in the Black Friar Yard, near the Pleasance.[31] James VI took up residence at Holyrood in 1579 at the age of 13 years. The building was refurbished by William MacDowall with a new north gallery painted by Walter Binning, and an apartment for the king's favourite, Esmé Stewart.[32] In 1590 his wife, Anne of Denmark, was crowned in the diminished abbey church in 1590, at which time the royal household at the palace numbered around 600 persons.[29] The architect William Schaw was entrusted to repair the palace, and in 1590 received 625 gold crowns from Queen Elizabeth for the building work.[33] The palace was not however secure enough to prevent the king and queen being surprised in their lodgings in December 1592 and July 1593 by Francis Stewart, 5th Earl of Bothwell, a nobleman implicated by the North Berwick Witch Trials.[34]

17th century[edit]

When James became King of England in 1603 and moved to London, the palace was no longer the seat of a permanent royal court. James visited in 1617, for which the chapel was redecorated. More repairs were put in hand in preparation for the coronation of Charles I as King of Scotland at Holyrood in 1633.[27] On 10 August 1646 Charles appointed James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Hamilton, as hereditary Keeper of Holyroodhouse, an office which his descendants retain.[35] The post is one of the Great Offices in the Royal Household in Scotland, and indeed the private ducal apartments cover a larger area of the palace than the state ones. As well as his own deputy, the Keeper still appoints the Bailie of Holyroodhouse, who is responsible for law and order within the Holyrood Abbey Sanctuary. The High Constables of Holyroodhouse are responsible to the Keeper.

The west range of the palace drawn around 1649 by James Gordon of Rothiemay, prior to reconstruction in the 1670s.

The following year saw the Restoration of Charles II in England and Scotland. The Privy Council was reconstituted and once more met at Holyroodhouse. Repairs were put in hand to allow use of the building by the Earl of Lauderdale, the Secretary of State for Scotland, and a full survey was carried out in 1663 by John Mylne.[36] In 1670, £30,000 was set aside by the Privy Council for the rebuilding of Holyroodhouse.[37]

Plans for complete reconstruction were drawn up by Sir William Bruce, the Surveyor of the King's Works, and Robert Mylne, the King's Master Mason. The design included a south-west tower to mirror the existing tower, a plan which had existed since at least Charles I's time. Following criticism from Charles II, Bruce redesigned the interior layout to provide suites of royal apartments on the first floor: the Queen's apartment on the west side; and the King's apartment on the south and east sides. The two were linked by a gallery to the north, and a council chamber occupied the south-west tower.[37]

Work began in July 1671, starting at the north-west, which was ready for use by Lauderdale the following year. In 1675 Lord Hatton became the first of many nobles to take up a grace-and-favour apartment in the palace. The following year the decision was taken to rebuild the west range of the palace, and to construct a kitchen block to the south-east of the quadrangle. Bruce's appointment as architect of the project was cancelled in 1678, with the remaining work being overseen by Hatton.[37] By 1679 the palace had been re-constructed, largely in its present form. Craftsmen employed included the Dutch carpenters Alexander Eizat and Jan van Santvoort, and their countryman Jacob de Wet who painted several ceilings. The elaborate plasterwork was done by John Houlbert and George Dunsterfield.[38]

Interior work was still in progress when the James, Duke of Albany, the future James VII and II, and his wife Mary of Modena visited that year.[3] They returned to live at Holyrood between 1680 and 1682, in the aftermath of the Exclusion crisis, which had severely impacted James' popularity in England. When he acceded to the throne in 1685, the Catholic king set up a Jesuit college in the Chancellor's Lodging to the south of the palace. The abbey was adapted as a chapel for the Order of the Thistle in 1687–88. The architect was James Smith, and carvings were done by Grinling Gibbons and William Morgan. The interiors of this chapel, and the Jesuit college, were subsequently destroyed by an anti-Catholic mob, following the beginning of the Glorious Revolution in late 1688.[3] In 1691 the Kirk of the Canongate was completed, to replace the abbey as the local parish church, and it is at the Kirk of the Canongate that the Queen today attends services when in residence at Holyroodhouse.

18th century[edit]

A view of the palace and abbey in 1789

After the Union of Scotland and England in 1707 the palace lost its principal functions, although it was used for the elections of Scottish representative peers.[39] The nobles who had been granted apartments in the palace continued to use them: the Duke of Hamilton had already taken over the Queen's Apartments in 1684. The King's Apartments were meanwhile neglected.[3]

Bonnie Prince Charlie held court at Holyrood for five weeks in September and October 1745, during the Jacobite Rising. Charles occupied the Duke of Hamilton's apartments rather than the unkempt King's Apartments, and held court in the Gallery. The following year, government troops were billeted in the palace after the Battle of Falkirk, when they damaged the royal portraits in the gallery, and the Duke of Cumberland stayed here on his way to Culloden.[40] Meanwhile, the neglect continued: the roof of the abbey church collapsed in 1768, leaving it as it currently stands. However, the potential of the palace as a tourist attraction was already being recognised, with the Duke of Hamilton allowing paying guests to view Queen Mary's apartments in the north-west tower.[41]

The precincts of Holyrood Abbey, extending to the whole of Holyrood Park, had been designated as a debtors' sanctuary since the 16th century. Those in debt could escape their creditors, and imprisonment, by taking up residence within the sanctuary, and a small community grew up to the west of the palace. The residents, known colloquially as "Abbey Lairds", were able to leave the sanctuary on Sundays, when no arrests were permitted. The area was controlled by a baillie, and by several constables, appointed by the Keeper of Holyroodhouse. The constables now form a ceremonial guard at the palace.[42]

19th century[edit]

Following the French Revolution, George III allowed Louis XVI's youngest brother, the Comte d'Artois to live at Holyroodhouse, where he took advantage of the abbey sanctuary to avoid his creditors. Artois stayed at Holyroodhouse from 1796 to 1803, during which time the King's apartments were renovated. The Comte d'Artois inherited the French throne in 1824 as Charles X, but following the July Revolution of 1830, the French royal family lived at Holyroodhouse again until 1832 when they moved to Austria.[42]

King George IV became the first reigning monarch since Charles I to visit Holyroodhouse, during his 1822 visit to Scotland. Although he stayed at Dalkeith Palace, the king held a levée (reception) at Holyroodhouse, and was shown the historic apartments. He ordered repairs to the palace, but declared that Queen Mary's rooms should be protected from any future changes.[43] Over the next ten years, Robert Reid oversaw works including the demolition of all the buildings to the north and south of the main quadrangle.[3] In 1834 William IV agreed that the Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland could make use of the palace during the sitting of the assembly, and this tradition continues today.[3]

On the first visit of Queen Victoria to Scotland in 1842, she also stayed at Dalkeith, and was prevented from visiting Holyroodhouse by an outbreak of scarlet fever.[44] In preparation for her 1850 visit, more renovations were carried out by Robert Matheson of the Office of Works, and the interiors were redecorated by David Ramsay Hay.[45] Over the next few years, the lodgings of the various nobles were gradually repossessed, and Victoria was able to take up a second floor apartment in 1871, freeing up the former royal apartments as dining and drawing rooms, as well as a throne room.[3] From 1854 the historic apartments in the north-west tower were formally opened to the public.[46]

20th century[edit]

Although Edward VII visited briefly in 1903, it was George V who transformed Holyroodhouse into a 20th-century palace. Central heating and electric light were installed prior to his first visit in 1911, and after the First World War improvements to bathrooms and kitchens were carried out. In the 1920s the palace was formally designated as the monarch's official residence in Scotland, and became the location for regular royal ceremonies and events.[47]

21st century[edit]

The Royal Standard used in Scotland is flown when the monarch is in residence.

The present Queen spends one week at Holyrood in summer, during which time investitures are held in the gallery, audiences are held in the morning room, and garden parties are hosted.[48] While she is in residence, the Scottish version of the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is flown; at all other times the Royal Banner of Scotland is displayed.[48] During the Queen's visits, the Royal Company of Archers form her ceremonial bodyguard. The Ceremony of the Keys, in which she is formally presented with the keys of Edinburgh by the Lord Provost, is held on her arrival.[18] At the Palace the Queen meets and appoints the First Minister of Scotland. Prince Charles also stays at Holyroodhouse for one week a year, carrying out official duties as the Duke of Rothesay.[48]

In its role as the official residence of the monarch in Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse has hosted a number of foreign visitors and dignitaries, including Harald V of Norway in 1994,[49] Nelson Mandela in 1997,[50] Vladimir Putin in 2003,[51] and Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.[52] A meeting of the European Council was held at the palace in December 1992 during the British presidency of the council.[53] Queen Elizabeth II gave a dinner at Holyroodhouse for the Commonwealth heads of government in October 1997 during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Edinburgh.[54]

The Palace of Holyroodhouse remains the property of the Crown. As the official royal residence in Scotland, building conservation and maintenance work on the Palace and Abbey falls to the Scottish Government and is delivered on their behalf by the Conservation Directorate of Historic Environment Scotland. Public access is managed by the Royal Collection Trust, with revenues used to support the work of the trust as custodians of the Royal Collection.[55] In April 2016 it was announced that the Royal Collection Trust was to fund a £10m project in order to redevelop the outside space at Holyroodhouse, including Holyrood Abbey, the grounds and forecourt. The project was completed at the end of 2018 in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland, and included the restoration of the Abbey Strand buildings which now house a learning centre.[56]

Ghost[edit]

The naked ghost of one Bald Agnes (Agnes Sampson), stripped and tortured in 1592 after being accused of witchcraft, is said to roam the palace.[57]
