Buckingham Palace - Buckingham Palace

Japanese: バッキンガム宮殿 - ばっきんがむきゅうでん(英語表記)Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace - Buckingham Palace

The palace of the British royal family in Westminster, London. It was originally built by the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and purchased by George III in 1762. Around 1825, Nash carried out extensive renovations at the behest of George IV, and it has been called Buckingham Palace ever since. It was not until 1837, under the reign of Queen Victoria, that it began to be used exclusively as the London residence of kings and queens. Although the interior is not open to the public, it contains many luxurious rooms, including the 20-meter-long Throne Room. The Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place every day at 11:30 a.m., is a London specialty. At the Queen's Gallery on the south side of the palace, you can see art from the royal collection, and at the Royal Mews, you can see the royal horses and carriages.

ロンドンのウェストミンスター区にあるイギリス王室の宮殿。1703年にバッキンガム公が建てた居館を、1762年にジョージ3世が買い取ったのが起源。1825年ごろジョージ4世の命によりナッシュが大改装を加え、以来バッキンガム宮殿とよばれるようになる。国王・女王のロンドンにおける居住場所としてもっぱら使われるようになったのは、1837年ビクトリア女王の時代からである。内部は公開されていないが、長さ約20メートルの「玉座の間」をはじめ、多数の豪華な部屋がある。毎日午前11時半から行われる衛兵の交代式はロンドンの名物である。宮殿の南側にあるクイーンズ・ギャラリーQueen's Galleryでは王室所蔵の美術品を、同じくロイヤル・ミューズRoyal Mewsでは王室の馬や馬車を見ることができる。
