Achilleion Palace in Corfu, Greece, was built in 1890 by Austrian Empress, Elizabeth of Bavaria. After her assasination, German Kaiser Wilhelm II purchased Achilleion Palace and used it as his summer residence. It was used as a military hospital for French and Serbian troops during World War I and as military headquarter for axis powers during World War II. It is now managed by the Hellenic Tourist Organisation and is open to the public.

The great fireplace in the main hall at Wycoller, which dates from the late 16th Century. Wycoller Hall is on the Lancashire / West Yorkshire border, close to the village of Haworth which was home to the Bronte sisters. Charlotte Bronte based "Ferndean Manor" in her novel "Jane Eyre" on this building and is known to have visited on numerous occasion with her sister Emily.

One example of evidence to support the belief that Wycoller Hall was Ferndean Manor comes from a report of the members of the Lancashire & Cheshire Antiquarian Society visit to Wycoller in May 1901. ............"The ladies were pleased to hear that some old folks had been spoken to who had remembered the Misses Brontë coming down from Barnside; also that Wycoller was the original "Fern Dean" in Jane Eyre and that the Heights above were Wuthering Heights".

It is known that Charlotte used to visit old halls in the area and it is well documented that she stayed with Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth in Gawthorpe Hall in 1850. Wycoller Hall was used to illustrate the cover of the 1898 edition of Jane Eyre.
(SEE NOTES).
