Not everyone manages to visit a real old castle. But there are lucky people who all live and study in this atmosphere. student years. The STAR Academy agency talks about universities that are located in castles.

Durham University will appeal not only to Harry Potter fans, but also to all lovers of old buildings and traditional British atmosphere. Indeed, in his possession is Durham Castle - the only castle in the UK, which in its thousand-year history has never been destroyed.

It was founded in the 11th century by order of William the Conqueror to protect the English borders in the north of the country. And he did an excellent job. In the middle of the 19th century, the castle became Durham University College. And still remains the epicenter student life and home to thousands of students.

Tourists can also wander through the gloomy galleries of Durham Castle and appreciate the Norman style in architecture. Group tours are held here, where the guides are the students themselves.

Geographically located and cultural center Scotland University of Stirling is in the top 100 best young universities in the world. Its campus is located on the territory of a former estate with a long and interesting history. In the center of the campus is the Airthrey Castle building. The 18th century castle was expanded and remodeled in late Victorian times and today houses the Faculty of Law.

The first mention of Airthrey Castle dates back to the 12th century. Over the past nine centuries, it has changed many owners, survived bloody battles, enemy attacks and numerous reconstructions.

In the 20th century, it was transferred to the Secretary of State, then there was a maternity hospital in it. More than one generation of Scots was born here. Finally, with the founding of the University of Stirling in 1969, the castle turned into an educational building and became part of student peaceful life.

The Belgian University of Leuven was founded in the 14th century and is considered the oldest Catholic university in the world. In the 20s of the last century, Arenberg Castle, donated to the university by its owner, the Duke of Arenberg, joined the territory of the educational institution.

The first castle buildings were erected in the spirit of the Renaissance, and several centuries later they were rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. After that, the castle acquired its modern look. It is now occupied by students from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Leuven and serves as the central campus site for the science club.

The Royal Holloway campus, University of London is one of the most atmospheric and impressive campuses in all of Britain. In 1886, it was opened by Queen Victoria herself, who, seeing such beauty, allowed the use of the word "royal" in her name in the name of the university.

This is perhaps one of those cases when the castle was built specifically for the university, and not transferred or sold years later. Its founder, entrepreneur and philanthropist Thomas Holloway, late XIX century laid the foundation for the future college for women in honor of his wife Jane. It was a bold and far-sighted step: at that time, women's education was ambiguous.

The result of the efforts of Thomas Holloway was the erection of a stunning main building in french style the Renaissance. Now you can find an art gallery, a chapel, a dining room, a library and a hostel for 500 people in it.

A bit surprising, but America has its own castles. So, the private university Arcadia University owns Gray Towers Castle and offers students really luxurious conditions. Freshmen live in pretty single or multi-person rooms on the third floor of the castle.

One floor below is the Mirror Room, or ballroom, with renaissance architectural elements. A pair of sliding doors lead to the adjacent Rose Room and Music Room. These rooms now host lectures, book readings, presentations and annual events.

The chronicle of Gray Towers Castle began in 1881, when William Harrison, a young co-owner of the Franklin sugar refinery, bought the estate and decided to rebuild it to his own liking. According to rumors, the architect was inspired by the residence of the Dukes of Northumberland in England. The castle is considered national monument, and along with "one of the most vivid memories of student time at Arcadia University."
