Highclere Castle, located in Hampshire, United Kingdom, is a historic and architecturally significant country house built in the Jacobethan style, a mix of Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture. The castle is renowned for being the primary filming location for the popular television period drama "Downton Abbey." The estate's history can be traced back to the 8th century, but the current castle was designed by Sir Charles Barry and built in the mid-19th century for the 3rd Earl of Carnarvon. Its design is reminiscent of the Elizabethan-era prodigy houses, and its stunning interiors are adorned with Italian Renaissance-styled designs, giving it a distinctive charm. Set in 1, 000 acres of parkland, the castle's grounds were designed by Capability Brown, a leading figure in English landscape design in the 18th century. The estate also contains several exquisite gardens, a notable feature being the Secret Garden, with its diverse range of plants and serene atmosphere. Inside the castle, visitors can explore the grand library, the opulent drawing room, the music room adorned with 16th-century Italian embroideries, and the saloon with a gothic-style ceiling. There are also multiple bedrooms and dressing rooms, each with their own unique style and decor. Highclere Castle is also home to a valuable collection of Egyptian artifacts, collected by the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who is known for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun with archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. Today, Highclere Castle is still the home of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon. While it is a private residence, it is opened to the public for tours at specific times of the year, allowing visitors to experience its magnificence and learn about its rich history.
