Sandringham House is a royal country house in Norfolk, England, standing within a 20,000-acre estate in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Built beginning in 1865 for Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), the house was designed by A. J. Humbert in a Jacobethan style and constructed of brick. Between 1870 and 1900 it was almost entirely rebuilt in what the architectural historian Pevsner described as "frenetic Jacobean." The estate, purchased for £220,000 as a country home for the future Edward VII and his wife Princess Alexandra of Denmark, became one of England's finest sporting properties. Kings George V and George VI, who both died at the house, cherished it deeply; George V called it "the place I love better than anywhere else in the world." The building and its landscaped gardens and park are Grade II* listed and registered on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Today it remains a royal residence of Charles III.
