Country house (English spelling)

Japanese: カントリー・ハウス(英語表記)country house
Country house (English spelling)
In England, a town house is the main residence of the nobility or wealthy country gentry on their country estates (compared to the town house, which was used for staying in London during the social season or when Parliament was in session). Originally manor houses were the residences of landowners in the Middle Ages, but with the accumulation of wealth and the remarkable development of architectural techniques during the Tudor dynasty in the 16th century, construction of grand country houses comparable to palaces in other countries became popular. This trend continued into the 18th century, leaving behind magnificent buildings all over England.

Japanese:
イギリスで,貴族や富裕な郷紳階級の,いなかの所領にある本邸を呼ぶ(これに対し,社交シーズンや議会の会期中にロンドンで滞在するのに使うのが,タウン・ハウスtown houseである)。本来は中世期の荘園所領の地主の屋敷としてのマナー・ハウスであったものが,16世紀チューダー朝期の富の蓄積と,建築技術のいちじるしい発達によって,他国の宮殿に匹敵するような広壮なカントリー・ハウスの建設がさかんになった。この傾向は18世紀まで続き,イギリス各地にみごとな建築群を残した。
