The Palm House
One of the world's most extraordinary glasshouse structures, it was built in the 1840's and constructed in a way that meant no supporting columns were needed. It is an amazing and iconic building, both in its design and in the plants that grow inside it.

ジョージ3世はウィリアム・エイトンやサー・ジョゼフ・バンクスに命じてさらに庭園の植物を豊かなものにさせた。旧キュー・パークは1802年に廃止され、1781年にジョージ3世は隣接するダッチ・ハウスを買い上げて、王室の子供達を育てる施設とした。この建物は現在キュー宮殿として残されている。
