Banqueting House, Gibside
Banqueting House, Gibside, Gothic architectural folly in Gibside estate, Gateshead, United Kingdom.
The Banqueting House features medieval-inspired elements including pinnacles and crenellations, rising above the Octagon Pond within the Gibside grounds.
George Bowes commissioned architect Daniel Garrett to design this entertainment venue in the 1740s as part of his grand vision for Gibside estate.
The Grade I listed building represents the architectural preferences of 18th-century English landowners who constructed decorative structures on their properties.
The Landmark Trust manages the building as a holiday home for four guests, with limited public access during one weekend each year.
Following a roof collapse in the 1900s, the structure underwent complete restoration in 1981, transforming from a windowless ruin into a functional residence.
