Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Queen Victoria's sumptuous Summer Residence on the north coast of the Isle of Wight affords superb views across The Solent towards Portsmouth and Lee on the Solent.
The ornate state rooms are furnished in typically "busy" Victorian style with plenty of gold leaf and reproduction statuary from Prince Albert's Grand Tours to Europe. The Durbah Extension with its magnificent deep plastered ceiling highlights Victoria's affection for her Imperial holdings in India. Prince Albert, meanwhile, had the Swiss Cottage built in the extensive estates to remind him of his home in Coburg. Their children used it as large "Wendy house" and it was equipped with a child-sized kitchen and dining room where they prepared meals using produce Albert had encouraged them to grow in their own vegetable patches in front of the cottage! The house contains some magnificent paintings, but much of Albert's extensive Renaissance art collection is now sadly re-located to other museums & galleries. |
