SPD4459 南區第23站——[Pok Fu Lam] University Hall/ [薄扶林] 大學堂



Hello everyone, today we are going to University Hall ^_^

大家好,今日我地去大學堂!!!! 未聽過呢? 等我慢慢介紹啦~~~~

University Hall which is situated on top of a hill at Pok Fu Lam is a special building in a combined of Tudor and Gothic architectural styles, also which is a 3-storey Neo-Gothic building.







大學堂聳立係一個草木茂密既小山丘上,在薄扶林的頂部是一個特殊的建築組合都鐸和哥特式的建築風格,亦係一個3層高揉合左都鐸及哥德式建築風格既華麗建築。真係好特別好靚,加上天氣好好既關係,岩晒我地影靚相!

It was built in about 1861 by a Scottish business, Douglas Lapraik as his residence and named after him as "Douglas Castle". The building had acquired by the University of Hong Kong in 1954. In 1956, the University of Hong Kong converted it into a student dormitory and renamed it the University Hall. 

係1861年左右,其實係一個蘇格蘭商人既住所黎咖,所以亦命名為“杜格拉斯堡”。(嘩,果然係豪宅!)
後來建築物係1954年已經被香港大學收購左,香港大學將其轉換成學生宿舍,並改名為大學堂。


In 1995, the Hong Kong Government declared it as a statutory monument. Over 140 years, the castle's structure still stands as yesterday and has become a unique landmark in Pok Fu Lam and the whole Southern District.
 


1995年,香港政府宣布其為法定古蹟。 經過左140多年既歷史,呢座城堡既結構仍然可巍然屹立如昔,亦成為左薄扶林區以至整個南區一座極有特色的西式建築
