Castillia

AN UNFORGETTABLE BEGINNING TO THE HERITAGE GALA 2025 💫

We opened the day with vibrant conversations on immersive culture, new media, and global heritage - exploring how ideas can transform the way we connect, create, and preserve.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all speakers and moderators for bringing insight, vision, and passion to these discussions 🙏

We were especially honored by the presence of H.R.H. Prince Omar bin Faisal of Jordan as a special guest, and by H.H. Princess Sophia Wolkonsky, who hosted this remarkable event. Her vision and leadership made the Gala possible and inspires us all to take bold steps in celebrating heritage.

Heritage lives. Culture inspires. Together, we make a difference✨

✨ HERITAGE PRELUDE ON THE GREENS ✨

Where heritage meets harmony and every step echoes a story. 🏰✨

On the sweeping greens of the National Golf & Country Club, guests were invited to pause, connect, and rediscover the beauty of culture and community. 🌿🎶

Thank you to all who joined us - your presence shaped an unforgettable chapter. 🤝

The journey continues.

🎠🏰Just like within Caerlaverock’s storied walls, where jousting knights return each year and film crews have captured cinematic magic, our inspirational property partners bring history to life in their own way. From grand public spectacles to intimate, private gatherings, we asked: What events do you host? Would you open the gates wider or keep it close and curated? And most importantly… which moments have stayed with you the most? 🎠🏰

part 2: some more clues

Once you have passed the heavy gate of the castle, you enter a timeless universe. The sumptuous Renaissance main courtyard - “the most beautiful castle courtyard in the kingdom of France”, according to Roger de Bussy Rabutin - meets the facades of the 18th and 19th centuries and the towers of the Middle Ages. With its furniture, paintings, tapestries and numerous souvenirs from past centuries, the interior is warm and welcoming.

The park, created in the 17th century and redesigned by landscape architect Achille Duchêne in the 20th century, is a haven of peace, with its century-old orange trees in boxes, its experimental permaculture vegetable garden, its ice house and its 12th-century chapel.

Are you any close to guessing the name and location of this beautiful chateau?
