The Palace-Like Structure In UK Bigger Than Even Buckingham Palace & It’s Own By An Individual
It was once described as ‘the ghost of Sussex’ and is shrouded by trees and scaffolding – yet it’s becoming increasingly difficult for this haunting palace to evade attention.
Hamilton Palace in Kent is one of the biggest mansions in the country, eclipsing even Buckingham Palace in its size.
Yet nobody appears to live there, and the palace STILL remains unfinished despite construction having started nearly 40 years ago.
The pile hit headlines in 2020 as drone pictures were released of the unfinished and, reportedly, ‘mostly abandoned’ project.
Surrounded by acres of land and woodland, anybody walking around the perimeter is met with an abundance of hostile signs warning the public to stay away, Sussex Live reports.
One local resident told The Mirror: “As far as I know nothing has changed. It’s difficult to see what work has or hasn’t been done as there are a number of threatening ‘keep out’ and ‘private’ signs dotted around the property.”
In 1990, the owner caused outrage after blocking public paths around the estate with razor wire and mounds of discarded refrigerators.
Built to house the art collection of property tycoon Nicholas van Hoogstraten – one of the area’s wealthiest people – the £40m construction also has its own mausoleum on the edge of a small lake.
Work started on the huge mansion in 1985, although there hasn’t appeared to be any progress since a member of the public last ventured inside in 2000.
