Queens' College, Medieval college in Cambridge, England.

Queens' College extends across both sides of the River Cam with buildings connected by the Mathematical Bridge, a wooden structure built in 1749.

Margaret of Anjou established Queens' College in 1448, followed by Elizabeth Woodville's refounding in 1475, leading to the plural apostrophe in its name.

The Old Court buildings demonstrate medieval architecture with original features including the dining hall, library, and chapel arranged within a single design pattern.

The college provides accommodation for most undergraduate students, maintaining over 500 student rooms across different residential buildings throughout the campus.

The Mathematical Bridge, constructed from teak wood since 1905, uses straight timbers arranged tangentially to create an arch effect across the river.
