Petworth House, Art museum and historic mansion in Petworth, England
The baroque mansion contains extensive collections of paintings by Turner, Van Dyck, and Gainsboroug, displayed across multiple rooms of the estate.
The construction of Petworth House started in 1688 under Charles Seymour, featuring architectural elements designed by Anthony Salvin in the 1870s.
The third Earl of Egremont, George O'Brien Wyndham, established Petworth as an artistic center by inviting painters Turner and Constable to work at the estate.
The National Trust maintains the property with guided tours available, though some areas present limited accessibility for wheelchair users.
The estate includes a 283-hectare park designed by Capability Brown, which maintains a permanent herd of fallow deer.
