艾比莱克斯庄园,艾比莱克斯,LAOIS,爱尔兰
一座辉煌而最杰出的爱尔兰 18 世纪豪宅,位于占地 1,000 多英亩的非凡而古老的林地内。
Abbey Leix 是爱尔兰最古老的 18 世纪房屋之一,经过壮观的修复后,它也是最宜人的房屋之一。在任何重要的爱尔兰乡间别墅名单中,艾比莱克斯 (Abbey Leix) 都占有一席之地。这座 18 世纪晚期的豪宅在 1859-60 年间以意大利风格装饰,在占地约 1,120 英亩的私人庄园中享有显着的地位,其中包括爱尔兰一些最着名的现存古老林地和诺尔河的广阔临街面。这座豪宅宏伟而精美,占地约 26,910 平方英尺或 2,500 平方米。庄园内增加了 10 间小屋和小屋。
莱克斯修道院由著名建筑师詹姆斯怀亚特于 1773 年设计。这座房子是一座优雅的三层古典豪宅,七开间,三个中央开间在三角形山形墙下。房间布置典雅简约,园前有三间主要房间。有一个很深的大厅,与东西走向的楼梯大厅和走廊隔着一道柱子。房子东南角的音乐室保留了怀亚特备受推崇的轻质装饰灰泥。完成后几年,大概是 1785 年左右,艺术家德·格瑞(De Gree)用稻壳包裹的石膏圆环装饰了灰色。
在 19 世纪中叶,采用了意大利风格,并增加了伟大的古典图书馆和温室。同时,房子的前面被封闭在一个入口庭院内,后面增加了露台。 1995 年进行了全面而富有同情心的修复。创建了一个新的国家餐厅。整个住宿的西北角都经过重新设计,提供了一个新的家庭活动室、厨房和管家厨房。随后对主要房间进行了相当大的保护计划。这些作品创造了一个 21 世纪的家庭住宅,一方面在舒适和随意之间取得了适当的平衡,另一方面又在娱乐和艺术展示方面实现了宏伟。
Abbey Leix 拥有爱尔兰最重要的树木收藏之一。在爱尔兰其他地方,橡树、桦树、桤木和柳树的原始森林几乎完全枯竭,而房子对面的公园山上的树林是爱尔兰古老林地最后幸存的遗迹之一。莱克斯修道院与爱尔兰的许多地方一样,起源于宗教定居点,特别是 12 世纪中叶来到爱尔兰的法国西多会僧侣。现在的直辖领是从修道院的农庄、树林和田野演变而来的。一棵树,爱尔兰最古老的橡树仍然从这一时期幸存下来。 de Vesci 家族在 1675 年至 1995 年间建造的房子一样美丽。
一个种马场位于原始农庄内,包括一系列有吸引力的切割石附属建筑。 1822 年,用当地石灰石建造了一个美丽的主院子,里面有一座钟楼。四边形院子里有 24 个松散的盒子。一个独立的农场拥有一系列农场棚屋。农田提供良好的放牧。石灰岩土壤非常适合饲养和饲养纯种马,在遮蔽良好且起伏不平的田野和围场中布置得很好。报价超额 2000 万欧元
“与其他地方的少数地方一样,莱克斯修道院给人一种爱尔兰历史悠久的感觉。作为法国僧侣、奥莫尔王子、奥蒙德伯爵、de Vesci 子爵和威尔士骑士的家,这座房子、它的公园和树林构成了我们过去的缩影。”威廉·拉凡,2017。

THE ABBEY LEIX ESTATE, ABBEYLEIX, COUNTY LAOIS, IRELAND
A splendid and most distinguished Irish 18th-century mansion positioned within a remarkable and ancient woodland demesne of over 1,000 acres.
Abbey Leix is one of the most venerable 18th-century houses in Ireland and, following a spectacular restoration, it is also one of the most congenial. In any list of important Irish country houses Abbey Leix has a prominent place. The late-18th-century mansion, clothed in the Italianate manner in 1859-60, enjoys a remarkable position within a private estate comprising some 1,120 acres and includes some of Ireland’s most notable remaining ancient woodland and extensive frontage to the River Nore. The accommodation is grand and beautifully executed with the mansion comprising some 26,910 square feet or 2,500 square metres. The mansion is augmented by 10 lodges and cottages on the estate.
Abbey Leix was designed in 1773 by the noted architect James Wyatt. The house is an elegant three-storey Classical mansion of seven bays, the three central bays under a triangular pediment. The arrangement of rooms is elegant and simple, with three major rooms on the park front. There is a deep hall, with a screen of columns separating it from the east-west-running staircase hall and corridor. The music room at the south-eastern corner of the house retains the light, decorative plasterwork for which Wyatt was so admired. Plaster roundels framed by swags of husks were decorated with grisaille by the artist De Gree a few years after completion, probably about 1785.
In the middle of the 19th-century the Italianate character was adopted and the great Classical library and a conservatory were added. At the same time the front of the house was enclosed within an Entrance Court with terraces added to the rear. A comprehensive and sympathetic restoration was undertaken in 1995. A new state dining room was created. The whole north-west corner of the accommodation was redesigned to provide a new family room, kitchen and butler’s pantry. A considerable programme of conservation of the major rooms followed. The works create a 21st-century family home with an appropriate balance between comfort and informality on the one hand and grandeur for entertaining and the display of art on the other.
Abbey Leix has one of the most important collections of trees in Ireland. Whereas elsewhere in Ireland the primeval forests of oak, birch, alder and willow have been almost entirely depleted, the woods on Park Hill across the river from the house are among the last surviving remnants of Ireland’s ancient woodland. Abbey Leix, like so many places in Ireland, owes its origins to religious settlement, and specifically to the French Cistercian monks who came to Ireland in the mid-12th-century. The present demesne evolved out of the monastery’s granges, woods and fields. One tree, the oldest oak in Ireland still survives from this period. The de Vesci family fashioned a landscape as beautiful as the house they built during their ownership between 1675 and 1995.
A stud farm is positioned within the original farmstead and includes an attractive range of cut-stone outbuildings. A beautiful principal yard, complete with a clock tower, was built of local limestone in 1822. The quadrangular yard contains 24 loose boxes. A separate farmyard has a range of farm sheds. The farmland provides good grazing. The limestone soil is ideal for rearing and keeping bloodstock, being well laid out in well sheltered and gently undulating fields and paddocks. Quoting Excess €20million
“As few places elsewhere, Abbey Leix gives a sense of the longue durée of Irish history. Having been home to French Monks, O’More Princes, Ormonde Earls, de Vesci Viscounts, and a Welsh Knight, the house, its park and woods form a microcosm of our past.” William Laffan, 2017.
