Frogmore House is a country house situated on the Frogmore estate in the Home Park at Windsor, close to Windsor Castle in England. It forms part of the royal estate and is noted for its historic interiors and landscaped grounds.

A compact country house with period rooms and decorative interiors set within formal gardens, the property is often presented together with the adjacent gardens and parkland that form the Frogmore estate. The grounds include smaller residences such as Frogmore Cottage and ceremonial monuments.

Built and altered across several centuries, the house became associated with the British royal family and has been used for private retreats and small royal events. The estate also became the site of the Royal Mausoleum, constructed in the 19th century to house the remains of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

Located within the Home Park at Windsor in Berkshire, the house lies a short distance from Windsor Castle and is part of the wider royal Windsor estate.

  • Limited public access: Set within the private Frogmore estate near Windsor Castle, access to the house and gardens is limited and they are open to the public only on specific days or by special arrangement.
  • Royal Mausoleum: The adjacent Royal Mausoleum contains the tombs of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and is located within the wider Frogmore grounds.
