There has been a debate over wether the place should be registered as a historic landmark (due to it’s age and architecture) or converted into a mountainside resort (due to the panoramic views it provides), but so far neither plans have been set in motion.
What I’m trying to show here is that the Estate won’t just be made up of only the Mansion and gardens but other structures such as the conservatory and (not pictured) additional structures such as the Carriage house, and some laboratories (and other such facilities), owing to the fact that the equestrian sorcerer that once owned the estate, decided on melding equestrian magic with human technology and interpret it through a scientific lens. If one were to imagine the laboratories, there will be a lot of steampunk influences, that’s for sure.
The Conservatory also most definitely and most likely houses specimens of plants and trees from Equestria, which are not found in the Human world. It also functions as a place where the sorcerer would gather ingredients for potion-making at the chemistry lab. It also houses a “poison garden”, similar to the one at Alnwick garden, but houses dangerous equestrian plants such as the poison joke flower.
At least the Ghosts get a nice view of the amphitheater whenever a concert or competition gets held there.
Um, it’s cool, I guess?
As long as said scientist doesn’t turn out like Ozwell Spencer. Remember what his mansion was like?
(Took me long enough to ref Resident Evil, didn’t I?)
though in all seriousness, what do you think of this conceptual location and the premise of this being the result of an Equestrian Sorcerer living in the Human world in the guise of a wealthy spiritualist and gentleman scientist?
’Cause sometimes Castlevania refs can get a little stale, try some Rocky Horror instead.
