Kew Palace, Royal palace in Kew Gardens, United Kingdom.
The Dutch House features red bricks across three floors, with white window frames and decorative gables representing seventeenth-century Mannerism architecture.
Built in 1631 by Samuel Fortrey, the palace became a royal residence in 1728 when Queen Caroline leased it for her three eldest daughters.
The palace interior displays Georgian period furniture, textiles, and decorative arts that reflect the daily life of King George III and Queen Charlotte.
Between April and September, visitors can explore the palace chambers, including the Royal Kitchens, which demonstrate food preparation methods from the 1700s.
In the palace basement, remains of the original Tudor undercroft from 1500s survive, linked to Robert Dudley who entertained Queen Elizabeth I.
