A Scottish Castle in Mexican lands

In addition, precisely in the capital of Aguascalientes, we can find many tourist attractions throughout its territory that you must know while you travel through the past of this beautiful city in each of its emblematic buildings. One of them is a curious castle that is in the middle of urban sprawl of this city of great history, it is the Ortega Castle, which is popularly known by locals as the renowned Douglas Castle.

The Castle Douglas keeps the history in its walls

The history of the castle goes back to the English John Douglas, who moved from England to Mexico at the end of the 19th century, in Aguascalientes he founded the La Perla flour factory and the tram system, allowing him to establish a farm. In 1887, his daughter Adela Douglas married José Guadalupe Ortega, with whom she had a son named Edmundo Ortega Douglas. Edmundo, feeling a great admiration for his grandfather John, changed the name of this famous property to Douglas Castle and it was here that he ordered the construction in 1923 of this palatial construction, whose emblem is "Amore ne vanitate", which translates as “Love, not vanity ". The reason why he calls it like that was because this castle he had built as a test of love for his beloved, Carmen Llaguno Cansino.

Similar to the Scottish castles

The reason why the Castle Douglas resembles a castle coming from Scotland is also by Edmundo, since he always dreamed of living in one of these famous medieval buildings, and fascinated by the stories of his ancestors he made sure that the building had the appearance of a Scottish castle from medieval times that will remind he of his ancestors. As a curious fact, in the quarry on the entrance door are engraved the initials of the two lovers who lived there. Made of solid stone brought from San Luis Potosí, the castle was adorned with Venetian stained glass and in its moment of glory, it was surrounded by an artificial lake in which swans swam, totally a movie castle.

A Castle to abandonment

After the death of Edmundo in 1970, the castle was abandoned to oblivion, it was until 1997 that it was rehabilitated and functioned as a restaurant-bar, which was the perfect opportunity for its inhabitants to get to know it inside. However, when the business closed, the property returned to the abandonment in which it remains until today.

While the castle can only be visited on the outside, a walk around gives us an idea of how powerful this family came to be and how the construction of this castle reaffirmed this. Take a trip back in time when you take a flight to Aguascalientes to see places like this that are tangible proofs of the history of Mexico, currently there are projects that try to rescue this type of places and in this way enrich the culture of the state.
