Welbeck Abbey, Former Premonstratensian monastery and country house in Nottinghamshire, England
The grand mansion features six state rooms adorned with artworks from The Portland Collection, displaying aristocratic interior design from the 18th century.
Thomas de Cuckney established Welbeck Abbey in 1140 as a Premonstratensian monastery, which later transformed into a residence for the Dukes of Portland.
The Portland Collection museum within the estate exhibits historic artworks, while The Harley Foundation organizes contemporary art exhibitions and educational programs.
The Welbeck estate includes The Courtyard complex with an art gallery, farm shop, cafe, and various accommodation options for extended visits.
The 5th Duke of Portland constructed an extensive underground network beneath the estate, including one of the largest riding houses in the world.
