Wilton House, Historic country house in Wilton, England
The Wilton House features expansive state rooms, including the Double Cube Room with collections of artwork by Van Dyck and classical architectural elements.
The property transformed from Wilton Abbey during the dissolution of monasteries when Henry VIII granted it to William Herbert, the first Earl of Pembroke.
Shakespeare's theater company performed at Wilton House in 1603, where Mary Sidney established a literary salon that influenced English literature.
The estate remains open to visitors from Sunday through Thursday between 11:30 and 16:30, offering guided tours of both the house and gardens.
The Palladian Bridge, constructed in 1736, established a new architectural trend and inspired similar designs across English gardens at Stowe and Bath.
