Boughton House, Country house in Weekley, England
The grand estate features baroque State Rooms, extensive art collections, and formal gardens spread across 11,000 acres of Northamptonshire countryside.
Ralph Montagu, 1st Duke of Montagu, constructed the present house after 1683, incorporating French architectural elements inspired by the Palace of Versailles.
The house contains notable paintings, including works by El Greco, Thomas Gainsborough, and John Wootton, alongside furniture, tapestries, and fine porcelain collections.
The estate opens for guided tours on specific dates, offering visitors access to the house museum, landscaped gardens, and seasonal events throughout the year.
In 2012, researchers discovered previously unknown Italian Baroque musical scores, including Vivaldi compositions, within the Montagu Music Collection at the estate.
