Strawberry Hill House, Historic house museum in Twickenham, United Kingdom.
The white Gothic Revival mansion features distinctive pinnacles, crenellations, pointed windows, and ornate decorative elements across its exterior architectural design.
Constructed in 1749 by Horace Walpole, the fourth Earl of Orford, this residence became significant for pioneering the Gothic Revival style in British architecture.
The interior rooms display an extensive collection of historical artifacts, period furniture, and decorative arts that reflect 18th-century British aristocratic tastes.
Visitors can explore the house from Saturday through Wednesday between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with guided tours available and a café serving refreshments.
The mansion's design directly influenced Gothic literature, as Walpole wrote 'The Castle of Otranto,' considered the first Gothic novel, while residing here.
