The Royal Fort House was built in the 18th century on the site of an old fort used in the English Civil war. Three different architects influenced the building and brought three styles of building to the project. If you look you will see Baroque, Palladian and Rococo styles of architecture. The gardens were designed by Humphry Repton in around 1800.
Today the building is part of the university of Bristol, used by the faculty of science.
