Osborne House was the summer retreat of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. They didn't like Brighton and to spent their summers on the Isle of Wight. The house was designed by Prince Albert, whereas the builder was Thomas Cubitt.
Cubitt also built in 1847 the main facade of Buckingham Palace, as we know it today so well.
Prince Albert designed the house in the spirit of an Italian Renaissance palace.
The gardens are inspired by the Prince's family home, Rosenau.
After the death of Queen Victoria Osborne Osborne was donated by the family to the nation.
