Old Royal Naval College

Originally, this was the site of the Greenwich Royal Palace - the favorite palace of King Henry VIII , the birthplace of Queens Mary I and Elizabeth I. During the English Civil War, the structure collapsed and was finally destroyed in 1694 (with the exception of Queens House).

The complex of buildings, which includes a chapel and the “Painted Hall”, was designed by Christopher Wren from 1696 to 1712 to house the Royal Naval Hospital , founded by decree of Queen Mary II in 1692 .

In 1806, here in one of the rooms was the coffin with the body of Admiral Nelson , after he was taken to London and before the solemn funeral in the Cathedral of St. Paul .

In 1869, the hospital was transferred to Suffolk County, and in 1873 Ren's buildings were transferred to the Royal Naval College, which held them until 1998 , when the training was transferred to the in Dartmouth .

Currently, it houses the National Maritime Museum of the United Kingdom and the University of Greenwich .

Now managed by the Greenwich Foundation of the Old Royal Naval College ( English Greenwich Foundation for the Old Royal Naval College ), founded in 1998 and made most of the premises open to public access.

The buildings and their interiors were used as the location for filming a multitude of films and TV shows.
