Osborne House

|
Osborne House, the former summer residence of Queen Victoria, is situated in East Cowes. This complex of buildings was designed by Prince Albert and built by Thomas Cubitt between 1845 and 1848 in the style of an Italian villa as an asymmetrical site. After Albert's early death Queen Victoria frequently came here and it was at Osborne where she died in 1901. Most of the rooms have remained undisturbed since then.
