It stands amid undulating lawns, partly converted into a formal garden with axial paths.

Beautiful building, I would have thought it was older than that. I love the round tower.
They could have converted this into nice world class museum to attract tourists instead of giving rent for public funtions and marriages! Nice photos and info..
