Frogmore House

Annual Openings of Frogmore House, Garden and Mausoleum

Frogmore House, set in the magnificent private Home Park of Windsor Castle, has been a favoured royal retreat for over 300 years. Built in the 17th century, it was purchased in 1792 for George III’s consort, Queen Charlotte. Frogmore is particularly associated with Queen Victoria.  The charming gothic Tea House and white-marble Indian Kiosk were installed in the grounds during her reign. Queen Victoria’s great affection for Frogmore contributed to her decision to break with royal tradition and build a mausoleum for herself and her husband, Prince Albert, in the garden.
