Five years ago
I stayed in Stamford (UK) for one month, a town in the county of Lincolnshire
in the East of England, it was an incredible experience and I discovered the
beauty of UK.
In this
town, I visited a quite important Palace called Burghley House. This country
house was built in the 16th-century for the Lord High Treasure of
Queen Elisabeth I, it’s a good example of the English architecture of this age
and it also has some baroque style. There are more than 100 rooms, halls,
corridors, bathrooms and service areas spread over 4 floors. It has a lot of
paintings of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry VIII and Oliver Cromwell.
It is surrounded by a large park with hundreds of trees and some deer.
The
Burghley house has appeared in several films over the years such as “Pride and
Prejudice”, “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” or “The Da Vinci Code”.
It’s one of
the most beautiful country houses I’ve ever seen and I really recommend you to visit it.

It's great! It's like the English version of Châteaux de la Loire in France. It makes me think of Chambord, but in English ;)
I guess the style is more Renaissance than Baroque. Am I wrong?
