Osborne House

Historic Houses & Building
The peaceful, rural retreat of Queen Victoria

Osborne House was the peaceful, rural retreat of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their family; they spent some of their happiest times here. The Prince personally supervised the building, landscaping and alterations of this beautiful Italianate villa and its gardens which command a stunning view of the Solent. Many of the apartments have a very intimate association with the Queen who died here in 1901 and have been preserved almost unaltered ever since. The nursery bedroom remains just as it was in the 1870s when Queen Victoria's first grandchildren came to stay. Children were a constant feature of life at Osborne (Victoria and Albert had nine). Don't miss the Swiss Cottage, a charming chalet in the grounds built for the Royal children to play and entertain their parents in.
