Miniature Titania’s Palace

Danish children’s book author Shane Brox guides you through one of the most beautiful dollhouse palaces in the world; Titania’s Palace. It was the name given to an intricately constructed edifice created by British peer Sir Nevile Wilkinson as a dwelling place for the Fairy Queen Titania, inspired by his small daughter Guendolen’s imagination. The Palace, which includes more than 3000 pieces of miniature furniture and treasures, took almost 30 years to complete and was officially inaugurated by Queen Mary in 1922. It was exhibited throughout the world and raised the equivalent of 60 million danish kroner for the benefit of deprived and handicapped children, before it was sold by Guendolen in the late 60’s. As her father, she had a good heart too and the entire sales of the palace was donated to a children’s home. Today the palace can be visited at Egeskov castle in Denmark.
