Donington Hall, Grade II* listed house in Castle Donington, England
The country estate features Gothic architectural elements designed by William Wilkins, with stone walls and symmetrical windows across its main facade.
The hall served as a prisoner of war camp during World War I, from which German naval pilot Gunther Plüschow managed to escape in 1915.
The estate's extensive road network became instrumental in establishing the Donington Park racing circuit in 1931, shaping local motorsport heritage.
MotorSport Vision plans to transform the building into a 40-bedroom hotel while maintaining its connection to the adjacent racing circuit.
The property has transitioned from a private residence to a prisoner camp, airline headquarters, motorcycle company base, and future motorsport hotel.
