Wolvesey Castle, Winchester

Wolvesey Castle was one of the greatest medieval buildings in England – the palace of the powerful and wealthy bishops of Winchester. One of the most important Norman palaces in England, it was built during a period when Winchester was second only to London as a royal and ecclesiastical centre. The palace remained in use until the 1680s, when Bishop George Morley decided to build a new palace nearby.

Throughout the medieval period the bishops of Winchester held one of the highest positions of power in the English church, as well as in national politics. They owned vast estates stretching from Somerset to London, which brought them great wealth.

The Bishop of Winchester once lived as part of the community of monks who served the cathedral church. By the 10th century, however, the increasingly public role of the bishop meant that an enclosed monastery life was impractical.

Aethelwold I (963–84) was the first bishop to live separately from the cathedral. Little is known about his residence, which lay north of the present palace, but it probably included a hall, residential accommodation and a chapel.

In about 1110 Bishop William Giffard (1107–29) built the stone west hall, which is today largely buried beneath the baroque palace. However, the ruins of the northern end have survived.

Raised up on the first floor to give the building an imposing appearance, these rooms served as the bishop’s private chambers, but were also frequently occupied by royal guests.

The city of Winchester lies at the heart of the wider City of Winchester, a local government district, and is located at the western end of the South Downs National Park, along the course of the River Itchen. Winchester is situated 61 miles (98 km) south-west of London and 13.6 miles (21.9 km) from Southampton, its closest city.

The city is home to the University of Winchester and Winchester College, the oldest public school in the United Kingdom still to be using its original buildings.

Qué ver y hacer en Winchester en un día, Inglaterra | Viajar Reino Unido UK - Rey Arturo/Jane Austen

Qué ver y hacer en Winchester en un día, Inglaterra | Mesa Redonda del Rey Arturo – Catedral – Jane Austen tumba, Viajar a Reino Unido: Discovering UK
La pequeña y bella ciudad de Winchester es un viaje obligatorio para todos aquellos que quieren profundizar en la historia de Inglaterra, un lugar que, conservado a la perfección, narra en sus calles y rincones la historia de cómo uno de los países más importantes del mundo se formó a partir de varios reinos.
Winchester, Hampshire es la ciudad en la que empezó a forjarse la Historia de Inglaterra ya que fue la capital del importante reino de Wessex y de Inglaterra, ya que dominó éste a los otros reinos, hasta que siglos más tarde Londres tomó el testigo de la ciudad conocida por la Leyenda del Rey Arturo y la mesa redonda de los caballeros de Camelot.
Viajar a Winchester es fácil, ya que tiene una buena conexión por tren, por lo que si vives en la capital inglesa, viajar de Londres a Winchester te costará poco más de una hora.
Winchester tiene lugares impresionantes y llenos de historia, como su Catedral, conocida por ser la más larga de Europa y porque es donde está enterrada la famosa escritora anglosajona Jane Austen, la cual pasó los últimos 8 años de su vida en la ciudad y donde han convertido su antigua casa en un completo museo. Dicen que sirvió de inspiración en la novela Los pilares de la tierra y allí se celebró además la boda de Felipe II con María I de Inglaterra.
La casa de Jane Austen se encuentra en College Street y es una vivienda privada que posee una placa que indica el lugar en el que vivió. Al final de la calle a mano izquierda poidéis visitar el castillo en el que se celebró en banquete de la boda de Felipe II con María I de Inglaterra y el cual fue el hogar de los poderosos obispos anglosajones.
La visita a este castillo llamado Wolveseley Castle es gratis y debe su nombre a una leyenda que cuenta que un rey Sajón exigía un pago anual de 300 cabezas de lobos (wolves).
La guinda al pastel de la visita a Winchester es la Mesa Redonda del Rey Arturo de Camelot y los caballeros. Sí, has leído bien: La Mesa Redonda del Rey Arturo. La cual se encuentra en el Great Hall, muy cerca de la estación de Winchester, aunque no se sabe con exactitud si es la auténtica lo cierto es que tiene más de 700 años de historia. Merece la pena ir hasta Winchester sólo para verla.
El Great Hall posee también una estatua gigantesca de la reina Victoria, un relieve en madera de la reina Isabel y unas puertas de hierro al más puro estilo Juego de Tronos así como una galería de con imágenes de la historia de Inglaterra.
Mejores atracciones y lugares que ver en Winchester:
1-Catedral de Winchester
2-La mesa de redonda del Rey Arturo y los caballeros de Camelot
3-Great Hall
4-Wolvesey Castle
5- Winchester City Mill (Molino)
5-Casa de Jane Austen
Además, según ciuden Winchester posee el molino más antiguo de Inglaterra uno de los pocos molinos de agua que aún existe, ubicado al lado del río y el cual es una magnífica muestra de la ingeniería del siglo XVIII.
Podrás ver cómo el agua del río Itchen mueve los engranajes del mismo mediante su sistema igual que como lo hacía hace más de dos siglos. Allí también te explican todos los detalles del proceso de producción de harina fina y podrás moler el trigo por ti mismo. ¿Curioso no?
El Molino de la Ciudad de Winchester (City Mill), fue construido en el año 1743 en el mismo sitio donde había un molino sajón y se restauró con piezas de otros molinos en 2004.
De todas las ciudades en las que he estado en Inglaterra (Reino Unido), Winchester es una de mis favoritas por su pasado medieval y la historia que guardan sus calles. Tiene ese encanto de ciudad pequeña inglesa y al mismo tiempo varias atracciones turísticas que hacen que siempre merezca la pena volver. Por lo que si deseas pasar un día de viaje en Winchester te aseguro que la visita habrá merecido la pena… ¡Es como volver a una época anterior! ¡No olvides suscribirte a mi canal ‘Los Viajes de Grimes’ para seguir viajando conmigo
