Jacobean architecture

Jacobean architecture, prominent in England during the early 17th century, is characterized by its grand and elaborate style that follows the Elizabethan era. It features symmetry, intricate detailing, and the use of brick and stone. Roofs are often steeply pitched, with decorative gables and large windows. Interior spaces are richly adorned with wood paneling and elaborate plasterwork. This style reflects the wealth and power of the time, particularly in country houses and public buildings, blending Renaissance influences with local traditions, marking a transition toward the Baroque style that would follow.
