Southwick House, Georgian manor house in Southwick, England
The late Georgian building stands on extensive grounds north of Portsmouth, featuring classical architectural elements and symmetrical proportions throughout its structure.
During World War II, the mansion served as the Allied Command headquarters where General Eisenhower made critical decisions about the D-Day invasion.
The house maintains a large plywood map used for Operation Neptune, displaying the naval positions during the Normandy invasion planning.
Visitors need to arrange appointments via email to DSPG-HQ-Information@mod.uk as the building operates as the Defence School of Policing and Guarding.
The estate will transition from military ownership in 2031, marking the end of its eight-decade connection to British defense institutions.
