Well Manored.

These historical English castles and manor houses play such key roles in their respective cinematic plots! Marianne's "Dear, dear Norland!" lament as, in the movie-version, she dramatically hugs the side of the building... Elizabeth Bennet upon viewing Pemberley for the first time... The manor-wide panic of potentially leaving Downton? The buildings just exude that meritorious opulence -- and imagine how many secret passageways and chambers they must cache!
