  • Il Chester Castle, costruito tra il 1788 e il 1822, è un edificio progettato da Thomas Harrison realizzato a Chester, città dell'Inghilterra capoluogo della contea di Cheshire, sulla base del castello medioevale ivi presente. E' un tribunale che ha un portico a forma di pronao esastilo. Il pronao viene utilizzato spesso nell'architettura neogreca per connotare un edifico pubblico. L'ingresso avviene attraverso una porta che rievoca i propilei dell'acropoli di Atene costituito da un portico centrale con ai lati due altri elementi con colonne di ordine dorico. Questo ingresso viene chiamato Propilerum. (it)
  • Chester Castle ist der Name eines Areals in der englischen Stadt Chester, auf dem bis in das 18. Jahrhundert eine Burg stand. Von der großen Anlage sind heute jedoch nur noch die Ringmauer des inneren Burghofs, Reste des so genannten Flag Tower und das innere Burgtor − Agricola Turm genannt − aus dem 12. Jahrhundert erhalten. Die Mehrheit der heute auf dem Areal befindlichen Gebäude sind Neubauten des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts. (de)
