Prince Albert and Queen Victoria bought the original Osborne House in 1844. Then the new Osborne House was constructed in 1845. This house was built in an Italian Renaissance style of architecture. The new house has two imitation bell and clock tower: one of them was added in 1851. Queen and the Prince used to stay in this house to relax from the stresses of court life.
