Altre informazioni

The mock Tudor castle, complete with towers and battlements, was built in the mid-1850s by Sir James Matheson, a rich merchant who made his fortune in the Far East opium trade. Matheson bought the entirety of Lewis Island in 1844. In 1918, William Lever, Lord Leverhulme, bought the castle, along with the island. He extended the building and added modern conveniences, gifting the building and the island back to the people of Lewis in 1923. Lews Castle served as a naval hospital during World War II, later housing a college and a school. After recent renovations, its facilities include a museum, café, and several hotel rooms.
