Kiosk To South East Of Cottage In Frogmore Grounds, Grade II listed memorial in Windsor and Maidenhead, England.
Kiosk To South East Of Cottage In Frogmore Grounds is an octagonal structure built from white marble with an onion dome and open archways. The building sits within the garden grounds near Windsor Castle in Berkshire.
British soldiers brought this structure to England from the Qaisar Bagh palace in Lucknow following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. It was installed in the royal gardens where it has remained since.
The kiosk displays Mughal design with its symmetrical shape and ornamental dome. It stands as part of Queen Victoria's private gardens, reflecting her later interest in Indian culture and connections.
Entry to the kiosk and surrounding gardens requires advance booking for guided tours on specific dates. Plan ahead as access is limited to particular times of year.
This structure is a rare example of Indian architecture removed and relocated by British soldiers as war spoils. Its transplantation reveals the colonial connections between Britain and India during that era.
