The mansion, referred to as "Stonegate Manor," was on the premises of a former medieval palace.

Throughout the years, additional sections have been incorporated into the original palace, resulting in a stunning blend of architectural styles.

The estate now featured a multitude of domes, vaults, arches, and spires. All of this gave it the allure of a structure from a different era.
