点评:Queen's House Ice Rink is one of London's best kept secret and a must visit at Christmas time 😊
The Queen's House in Greenwich is a masterpiece of 17th-century English architecture, famous for its art collection and historical significance. It is part of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Completed in the 1630s, the Queen’s House in Greenwich was a "Classical spaceship" that landed in the middle of a red-brick Tudor world.
It was the first building in England to be designed in a purely classical style, forever changing British architecture.
King James I commissioned the house for his wife, Anne of Denmark, in 1616. Legend says it was a gift to say sorry after he lost his temper when she accidentally shot one of his favourite hunting dogs.
Designed by Inigo Jones, the house was inspired by Italian Renaissance designs, specifically those of Andrea Palladio.
Anne died in 1619 before it was finished. Work resumed in 1629 for Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, and the house was completed around 1635.
When the Old Royal Naval College was built in the 1690s, Queen Mary II insisted it must not block the view of the Thames from the Queen's House. This created the famous "grand visto" that exists today 😊

位于格林威治的女王宫是17世纪英国建筑的杰作,以其艺术收藏和历史意义而闻名。它是联合国教科文组织世界遗产格林威治海事区的一部分。
女王宫于17世纪30年代竣工,宛如一艘“古典主义的宇宙飞船”,降落在一片红砖砌成的都铎王朝建筑群中。
它是英国第一座完全采用古典主义风格设计的建筑,永远地改变了英国建筑的面貌。
1616年,詹姆斯一世国王委托建造了这座宫殿,送给他的妻子丹麦的安妮。传说,这是他因安妮意外射杀了他最喜欢的猎犬之一而大发雷霆后,为她送上的一份歉意。
这座宫殿由伊尼戈·琼斯设计,其灵感源自意大利文艺复兴时期的建筑风格,特别是安德烈亚·帕拉迪奥的作品。
安妮于1619年去世,当时宫殿尚未完工。 1629年,为了查理一世的妻子亨利埃塔·玛丽亚,工程重新启动,这座宅邸于1635年左右竣工。
17世纪90年代,旧皇家海军学院建成时,玛丽二世女王坚持要求它不能遮挡女王府邸的泰晤士河景。这造就了如今著名的“壮丽景色”(grand visto)。😊
