Temple of Concord & Victory - Stowe Landscape Gardens

Six fluted columned pedimented portico approached by flight of steps. Originally known as the Grecian Temple, it was begun in 1747, and is partly based on the Roman Maison Carrée at Nîmes.

The architect of this building is unknown, maybe Earl Temple or Thomas Pitt. It sits in at the north end of a garden section which is 'Capability' Brown's first known landscape design.

In 1763 it was renamed "The Temple of Concord & Victory" to celebrate the Peace of Paris and the end of the 7 years war between Great Britain and France.1
