概述

里士满城堡是一座宏伟的爱德华时代庄园，坐落在树木繁茂的小山上，距离卡卢特勒镇约 2 公里，俯瞰卡卢恒河。它是为当地一位富有的贵族建造的，融合了意大利、英国、苏格兰和缅甸的建筑风格，配有柚木楼梯、彩色玻璃、舞厅和宽敞的阳台，周围环绕着修剪整齐的花园。它由信托机构托管并与儿童慈善机构联合运营，是殖民时代的富裕和和平、氛围浓厚的一处罕见的幸存范例。

历史

The mansion was built between 1900 and 1910 as the country seat of Mudaliyar Don Arthur de Silva Wijesinghe Siriwardena, on a 42-acre estate at Palatota. Its design is said to have been inspired by an Indian maharaja's palace, and the finest materials and craftsmen were brought in for its construction. After the owner's death the property was left in trust, with the estate's income supporting charitable and educational purposes.
