Exterior Views of Stately Homes and Manor Houses

Brief

Please show me your best exterior photographs of stately homes and manor houses from any country in the world. The contest includes any impressive building, urban or rural, that is or was owned by wealthy or aristocratic families but specifically excludes fortified castles. Your entries may be in colour or monochrome and people may be included if you wish. I would be grateful if you could include the name and location of the building in your image title or description and please remember no castles or interior shots.
