Mereworth Castle, Palladian country house in Mereworth, England
The symmetrical mansion features a central dome reaching 80 feet high, with four identical porticos extending from each facade of the building.
Architect Colen Campbell designed this Grade I listed residence between 1720 and 1725 for John Fane, who later became the 7th Earl of Westmorland.
The interior displays Francesco Bagutti's plasterwork and Francesco Sleter's frescoes, representing the pinnacle of early Georgian decorative arts in England.
The mansion sits on private grounds near Tonbridge Road A26, with limited public viewing opportunities of its exterior architecture from certain vantage points.
The building stands as one of five British houses directly modeled after Palladio's Villa Rotonda, featuring an exact circular domed saloon measuring 35 feet in diameter.
