The Swiss Cottage 



Osborne House
Swiss Cottage in the grounds of Osborne House
Is this the biggest wendy house ever built? 
The swiss cottage built in the grounds of Osborne house for Victoria's children. Inside is a kitchen used to allow the young Royal to learn practical housekeeping skills. 
Part of the cottage was used as a museum, the exhibits collected and arranged by the children.  
Even the garden, seen in the foreground had an educational purpose. Prince Albert made his children grow produce to sell to the House kitchens, an exercise in economics. 
He also had a miniature fort built , just for the children to play in.
