Gorhambury House, Palladian country house in St Michael, England
Gorhambury House features a hexastyle Corinthian portico and stands as a substantial residence within an extensive estate near St Albans, Hertfordshire.
The house was built between 1777 and 1784 by architect Sir Robert Taylor, replacing an older structure and using materials from the previous building.
The main rooms contain Bacon and Grimston family portraits, a collection from the Grand Tour, and two fireplaces designed by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
The estate offers guided tours through the Historic Houses Association, with specific visiting times available throughout the year for public access.
The property includes preserved 17th-century painted glass windows from Old Gorhambury and houses what is considered the earliest English pile carpet.
