Tyntesfield, Gothic Revival manor house in Wraxall, England.
The limestone structure features intricate carvings, pointed arches, and a prominent square tower rising above the surrounding Somerset countryside.
William Gibbs, who accumulated wealth from Peruvian guano trade, transformed the Georgian residence into a Gothic Revival mansion between 1863 and 1866.
The house contains 72,000 objects including Victorian furnishings, artwork, and a library that displays the collecting interests of the Gibbs family.
The National Trust property includes designated parking areas, two cafes, mobility shuttle services, and permits dogs on leads in specific sections.
The private chapel, constructed between 1872 and 1877, mirrors the design of Paris's Sainte-Chapelle and connects to the main house via a bridge.
