如果你读过或看过《了不起的盖茨比》，你就知道20世纪20年代的纽约有着奢华的豪宅，业主们举办盛大的派对——如果你看过《镀金时代》，你就知道这些派对早在19世纪70年代就开始了。
If you've ever read or seen "The Great Gatsby," you know 1920s New York was home to extravagant mansions with owners who hosted lavish parties — and if you've watched "The Gilded Age," you know those parties began decades earlier in the 1870s.
如果你是一个真正的忠实粉丝，你可以拥有一段F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的历史。

据说曾启发《了不起的盖茨比》中派对的奥赫卡城堡，一座拥有百年历史的庞大庄园，将于10月27日通过Concierge和The Modlin Group的Adam Modlin进行拍卖。
Oheka Castle, a sprawling, century-old estate said to have inspired the parties in "The Great Gatsby," is set to go up for auction on October 27, via Concierge and Adam Modlin of The Modlin Group.
它最初的主人是金融家奥托·赫尔曼·卡恩，他于1919年在长岛建造了奥赫卡城堡——以业主的名字命名（Oh-He-Ka）。
Its original homeowner was financier Otto Hermann Kahn, who built Oheka Castle — named after its owner (Oh-He-Ka) — in 1919 on Long Island.
卡恩的妻子曾称这座住宅为“奥托的动物园”，这似乎是一个准确的描述。
Kahn's wife used to call the home "Otto's zoo," and it seemed to be an accurate description.
当时的知名人士曾在这座109,000平方英尺的住宅里聚会，卡恩就像一个盖茨比式的人物招待所有客人。但奥赫卡的旅程并未就此结束。1934年卡恩去世后，该房产多次易手，直到80年代被废弃。火灾、破坏和盗窃摧毁了它。
A-listers of the time used to party at the 109,000-square-foot home, with Kahn as a Gatsby-like figure entertaining all his guests. But Oheka's journey didn't end there. After Kahn's death in 1934, the property changed hands numerous times until it was abandoned in the '80s. Fires, vandalism, and theft devastated it.
据奥赫卡城堡称，土地开发商加里·梅利乌斯随后购买了该庄园，并花费4000万美元将其恢复到昔日的辉煌。
According to Oheka Castle, land developer Gary Melius then purchased the estate and spent $40 million restoring it to its former glory.
据《福布斯》报道，十多年前他拖欠了一笔贷款，并于2025年7月宣布破产，以阻止现在发生的事情：奥赫卡被拍卖。
He defaulted on a loan over a decade ago, Forbes reported, and declared bankruptcy in July 2025 to forestall what's happening now: Oheka on the auction block.
如今，它是美国第二大私人住宅，仅次于北卡罗来纳州的比特摩尔庄园。
Today, it's the second-largest private home in the US, behind only Biltmore House in North Carolina.
它是一个受欢迎的婚礼场地、餐厅和酒店，并出现在电影、电视节目和音乐视频中。泰勒·斯威夫特甚至在那里拍摄了《空白空间》的MV。你还可以花30美元参观场地。我在2024年4月参观了那里，被奥赫卡城堡的美丽所震撼。以下是参观的体验。
It's a popular venue for weddings, a restaurant, and a hotel, and has been featured in movies, TV shows, and music videos. Taylor Swift even filmed the "Blank Space" video there. You can also tour the grounds for $30. I took the tour in April 2024 and was astonished by the beauty of Oheka Castle. Here's what it was like to visit.
