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.
