Strawberry Hill

Strawberry Hill is a historic mansion located in Twickenham, London, designed in the 18th century by architect Horace Walpole. It’s renowned as one of the earliest examples of the Gothic Revival style, featuring pointed arches, battlements, and turrets, giving it a castle-like appearance. Originally built as Walpole’s private retreat, it combines medieval design elements with a whimsical touch.
