TQ1568 : Hampton Court Palace, The Fountain Court and State Rooms

taken 9 years ago, near to East Molesey, Surrey, England

Hampton Court Palace, The Fountain Court and State Rooms
Hampton Court Palace, The Fountain Court and State Rooms
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren for William and Mary, the wings around the Fountain Court contained new state apartments and private rooms, one set for the King and one for the Queen. The royal suites were of completely equal value in order to reflect William and Mary's unique status as joint sovereigns. The King's Apartments face south over the Privy Garden, the Queen's east over the Fountain Garden. The suites are linked by a gallery running the length of the east façade.
