Holkham Estate Temple
Heritage Open Day: Within Holkham Park, nestled in a woodland is a hidden Temple. Join us to sneak a peek inside! Nestled in a clearing in the woods within Holkham Park, not far from the imposing obelisk, is the Temple. Built as a folly and focal point in the landscape, it was completed in 1734 and, true to Thomas Coke’s love of Roman architecture, it is built in palladian style. The Doric design was ‘deduced from sketches of Mr Kent’, ie William Kent’s original drawings were somewhat altered to give us the Temple as we still see it today.
Join us for a sneak peek inside between 11am - 3pm. Learn about the architecture, functions and various uses of this rarely viewed building within Holkham Park.
