Holland House, Grade I listed building in Holland Park, London, United Kingdom
The historic residence features remaining east wing structures, ground floor ruins, and a preserved south facade amid formal gardens in Kensington.
Built in 1605 by diplomat Sir Walter Cope, the mansion changed ownership to Henry Rich who renamed it from Cope Castle to Holland House.
The property functioned as a significant meeting place for Whig politicians and intellectuals throughout the nineteenth century, hosting numerous cultural gatherings.
The remaining structures of Holland House now serve as a backdrop for the Holland Park Theatre and various public cultural events.
During World War II bombardment in 1940, the library section managed to survive while German firebombs destroyed most of the building.
