Outstanding Palladian mansion set in classical park landscape, built between 1759 and 1765 for Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Baron Scarsdale, whose family has lived at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house has the most complete and least altered sequence of Robert Adam interiors in England, and the rooms still contain their original collections of family portraits, old masters, and their original furniture. The vast Marble Hall and the Saloon with its coffered dome based on the Parthenon in Rome, is one of the most admired buildings of classical antiquity. The Hall's eastern Museum houses a fascinating collection of Indian and far Eastern objects assembled by Lord Curzon
