Description

Built in the 1730s by William Adam (also architect of Hamilton Parish Church) as a decorative feature in the 'grand design' of the Hamilton Estates landscape, Chatelherault comprises four main pavilion buildings with linking walls. The two western pavilions feature fine Georgian plasterwork and woodcarving, in rooms used by the Duke and Duchess for entertaining hunting guests. The structure was fully restored from ruin in the 1980s and now operates as the centrepiece of Chatelherault Country Park. For times for this event South Lanarkshire’s Doors Open Days Programme
