Defensive moat vs open lawn

Asymmetrical functional structure vs symmetrical structure + adornments (e.g. statues)

Crenalated battlements vs decorative roofing

Chatsworth House: symmetry// large windows// classical architecture// a more decorative garden and landscape

Surrounded by water - harder to approach, there’s only one approach

Much more closed off

Chatsworth: Lots of windows (much less defensive)

Grass surrounds so people can approach from every direction

Very pretty - it’s giving Bridgerton vibes!! (Is this from the era of Bridgerton?)

Much more aesthetically pleasing

Chatsworth - More ornate. Large open unobstructed space at the front for good view, statues on the lawn and top of house.
