昨天因为时间限制没能进入城堡里面，实在心有遗憾。今晨在Google地图上做了点功课，豁然发现，城堡就在我们所住公寓楼的旁边，楼旁小街对面是一片树林，正是Fonthill Park的一部分。正所谓“踏破铁鞋无觅处，重游全无费功夫”。地理位置的相邻，可能也是公寓叫做Fonthill Apartment的原因。下得楼来，穿过小街，对面小石碑旁边的林中小路就通往Fonthill堡。穿过200米左右的林间小径，走到林子的另一边，就能远远望到Fonthill堡了。走到城堡也就不过十分钟的时间。昨天步行到Mercer博物馆，再走到Fonthill城堡，将近3个小时，呵呵，这就是没好好做功课的代价！ 从房子过小路走到小牌楼边上就是Fonthill Park的树林了 曲径通幽处 Henry Chapman Mercer 1908年在建造Fonthill城堡時也建造了這個林子裡的小石屋 建成後也沒有派什麼用場 一直閒置荒蕪在小路旁 小 石屋 的 房檐上刻有铭文： WHO LEARNS WILL LOVE AND NOT DESTROY, THE CREATURES LIFE, THE FLOWERS JOY 小路尽头的Fonthill城堡 尽管事先没有预定，还是有购票的机会，只是要排到下午2:15才能轮到进入城堡。还有时间先去看看Moravian Pottery and Tile Works （摩拉维亚陶器和瓷砖工场）吧。工场离城堡不远，都在Fonthill Park范围之内， 也是Henry Mercer建造城堡同期建筑的。许多精美陶器和瓷砖都出自于此。 Moravian Pottery and Tile Works Moravian Pottery and Tile Works 铭牌 终于轮到我们进入城堡了。由于疫情的缘故，每批次进入城堡的人数限制在5个人，由一个讲解员负责引导，每个人也都要带上口罩。城堡完全是用Henry Mercer研发制备的钢筋混凝土建造的，城堡内的墙壁，屋顶和地面铺设的装饰陶器和瓷砖也都是来自Henry收藏品和摩拉维亚陶器瓷砖工场的产品。城堡内藏品极多，非常特殊，与众不同，其中最多的是陶器和早期铜板印刷艺术品.。 国家历史景点标志 据说堆积的那些陶器是上千年古埃及的物件 不知是否属实 镶在墙上的琉璃瓦 瓷地砖
