Queen's House, Residential wing at Tower of London, England.
The Queen's House features half-timbered construction and stands as a separate structure within the Tower of London complex, built around 1530.
King Henry VIII commissioned this residence for Anne Boleyn, who stayed here before her execution, marking a significant moment in Tudor history.
The building serves as a testament to Tudor architecture and royal practices, containing council chambers where important state decisions were made.
The Queen's House functions as the current residence of the Tower of London's Governor and remains part of the standard tour circuit.
Guy Fawkes made his confession about the Gunpowder Plot in these chambers in 1608, leading to his subsequent execution.
