EDITORS COMMENTS
Enmore Castle, situated in the picturesque countryside of Somerset, England, has been the seat of the Earls of Egmont since the 17th century. In the 17th century, it was the residence of the notorious Earl of Rochester, John Wilmot. However, in the 18th century, John Perceval, the 2nd Earl of Egmont, transformed the castle into a folly by adding medieval battlements and towers, giving it an enchanting and romantic appearance. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in London in 1821, captures the allure of Enmore Castle. The image showcases the castle's imposing structure, with its towering turrets and intricate details. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees, adding to the serene and idyllic setting. Enmore Castle's history is rich and varied. In the early 19th century, it was used as a spa town, attracting visitors seeking the therapeutic benefits of the mineral waters. The castle's proximity to the town of Bad Liebenstein in Germany, known for its own castle ruins and mineral springs, may have influenced this trend. The castle has also been associated with notable figures of European aristocracy. In the late 19th century, it was owned by Louise and Eleonore, the Duchesses of Saxe-Meiningen, who served as regents of their duchy during the absence of their brother, George Sinclair, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. Today, Enmore Castle is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its rich history, romantic architecture, and beautiful setting. The castle's enduring allure is a testament to its timeless beauty and the captivating history of the Earls of Egmont.
