The Royal Fort House is a historic house in Tyndalls Park, Bristol. The building currently houses the University of Bristol's Faculty of Science offices, Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research and the Cabot Institute.
The house was built for Thomas Tyndall KCB, in the 18th century, on the site of bastions which were fought over during the English Civil War and demolished in 1655. The Baroque, Palladian and Rococo styles of architecture are because of the work of three different architects: James Bridges, Thomas Paty, John Wallis. The garden was laid out by Humphry Repton around 1800.
The design of the mid-eighteenth-century house by James Bridges, for Thomas Tyndall KCB, was a compromise between the separate designs of architects Thomas Paty, John Wallis and himself. This led to different classical styles: Baroque, Palladian and Rococo, for three of the facades of the house. It was built between 1758 and 1761, by Thomas Paty with plasterwork by Thomas Stocking.
A later Colonel Thomas Tyndall employed Humphry Repton from 1799 to landscape the gardens which form a small part of Tyndall's Park, which extended to Whiteladies Road in the west, Park Row in the south and Cotham Hill to the north. Over the years large parts of the park were sold for housing development, as the site for the Bristol Grammar School, purchased in 1877, and only a small part of the original area remains, as Royal Fort Gardens. The siting of drives in the Royal Fort park is still reflected in street plans today.
The current stone gatehouse, built in the Victorian era and known as the Royal Fort Lodge, stands at the entrance to the driveway leading to Royal Fort House. It currently houses the University of Bristol security services.
The house has been designated by Historic England as a grade I listed building.
I liked this one, too.

Situated in a large valley and surrounded by massive snow covered peaks the town of Salzburg has played an important role throughout history. Its influence and wealth is visible through its plethora of sprawling cathedrals and two massive hilltop castles.
The city has a charm to it, one which inspired its most famous citizen - Mozart - and lent itself to the smash hit The Sound of Music.

Víziváros - Watertown St Anne's church (begun 1740, completed 1805)
One of Hungary's finest baroque churches, St. Anne's was almost destroyed in the early 1950s because the Hungarian dictator Mátyás Rákosi (known as "Stalin's most loyal disciple") thought that when Stalin visited him at his office in Parliament, he would be loath to look across the Danube at a Buda skyline dominated by churches. Fortunately, Rákosi's demented plan was never realized.

Venaria's Palace was built in the 17th century in Baroque style for Charles Emmanuel 11, one of the Savoy dukes.
Sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Tuby (1635–1700), based on drawings by Charles Le Brun (1619-90), and built by André Le Nôtre (1613-1700), the Apollo Fountain replaced the pre-existing Swans Fountain from 1638.
The statues are gilded lead, constructed 1688-70, and installed in 1671. The sculpture is of Apollo in his chariot, a symbol closely related to Louis XIV, the Sun-King (le Roi-Soleil).
The Palace of Versailles was created at the instruction of Louis XIV, and was the centre of French government and power from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until Louis XVI and the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789.
The chateau is built around a hunting lodge established by by Louis XIII, and was created in four phases: 1664–68, 1669–72, 1678–84 and 1699–1710, by the architects Le Vau, Le Nôtre, and Le Brun.

The former seminary of St. Francis Xavier (Seminář svatého Františka Xaverského, now the Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology of Palacký University).
Olomouc, Moravia, Czechia
Built 1717 - 1720
The building of the former seminary of St. Francis Xavier was chosen as the seat for the renewed Olomouc university. This location was personally chosen by Emperor Joseph II during his stay in Olomouc in September 1783, and therefore there is a plaque with the inscription OPTIMARUM ARTIUM LUDIS JOSEPHUS II AUG above the entrance to the building
a military hospital was established in the building during the Great War. After the abolition of Czech universities by the Nazis, the building was the headquarters of the Hitler Youth during the Protectorate.
The large three-story corner house with a high Baroque façade and two wings stands in the historic center of the city in the vicinity of other university buildings and the Sarkander Chapel. The ground floor is separated from the upper floors by a richly profiled cornice, the façade is articulated by pilaster strips, the windows of the first floor are decorated with chambranles and suprafenestra. The window above the entrance has a pediment with a cartouche with signs of episcopal dignity in the middle. On the first floor of the corner, there is a statue of St. Wenceslas in a niche. On the wall facing Mahlerova Street there is a memorial plaque by sculptor Bohumil Teplý, which commemorates Gregor Mendel's studies at the local university. The entrance to the building is created by a gate with a semicircular end and stucco decoration, which emphasizes the central part of the ground floor. Above the entrance is a stone plaque with an inscription commemorating the founding of the lyceum in 1783. The portal leads to a barrel vaulted passage in which a memorial plaque with reliefs of Saints Cyril and Methodius is installed. It was created by sculptor Julius Pelikán on the occasion of the renovation of the building in 1936.

Venaria's Palace was built in the 17th century in Baroque style for Charles Emmanuel 11, one of the Savoy dukes.
Service buildings in brick and stone flanking the avant-cour. Vaux-le-Vicomte was originally planned to be constructed in brick and stone, but after the mid-century, as the middle classes began to imitate this style, aristocratic circles began using stone exclusively. Rather late in the design process, Fouquet and Le Vau switched to stone.

Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 as a symbol of power and influence and intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.
The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.
