Marlinspike Hall owned by Captain Haddock
History
Marlinspike Hall first appears in The Secret of the Unicorn (1943)  as the home of the story's villains, the Bird brothers. By the end of the sequel Red Rackham's Treasure (1944), the manor is found to have been built by Haddock's illustrious ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. It is purchased by Professor Calculus on behalf of the Captain, and the fabled treasure itself is found hidden in the manor's old chapel, in the cellars. In the following years, Marlinspike provides a home base for Tintin, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, and Snowy in between their various adventures. In The Castafiore Emerald (1963), virtually all of the action takes place in the Hall, its grounds, or the surrounding countryside.
