University Hall, originally called Douglas Castle, was built in the 1860s by Scottish taipan (大班) Douglas Lapraik to serve as his country home. It looked rather different then: an octagonal penthouse (頂層豪華公寓) surrounded by battlements (雉堞式裝飾牆) commanded all-round sea views, four crenelated (鈍齒狀的) corner towers had mock arrow slits, and outhouses were built in identical Victorian Gothic style. The building has undergone many changes over the years and is now used as halls of residence for HKU students.
