The Royal Mausoleum, Grade I listed mausoleum in Windsor, England

The Royal Mausoleum features an octagonal structure with marble effigies, intricate stonework, and a central chamber housing two granite sarcophagi within the Royal Burial Ground.

Queen Victoria commissioned the mausoleum in 1862 for Prince Albert, investing £200,000 from private funds, equivalent to £22.7 million in modern currency.

The architectural design combines High Renaissance elements with Victorian aesthetics, featuring decorative mosaics by Antonio Salviati and biblical scene paintings by various artists.

The mausoleum remains closed to visitors since 2007 due to structural repairs addressing water damage issues in its foundations.

The sarcophagus contains a 33-tonne granite block from Aberdeenshire, transformed into the final resting place for both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
