Holkham Hall, Palladian country house in Holkham, England.
The main entrance of Holkham Hall features a grand Ionic portico, pink Derbyshire alabaster walls, and symmetrical windows arranged across the brick facade.
Construction of Holkham Hall began in 1734 under architect William Kent for Thomas Coke, the first Earl of Leicester, taking thirty years to complete.
The state rooms display collections of art, furniture, and tapestries gathered during Thomas Coke's extensive European travels in the early eighteenth century.
The estate offers daily tours between March and October, with parking facilities, a café, gift shop, and electric vehicle charging stations.
The mansion contains numerous false doors in its state rooms, incorporated specifically to maintain visual symmetry according to Palladian architectural principles.
