En un regard
Le château en bref
Villa Victoria was built in 1852–1853 in Cannes at the request of Sir Thomas Robinson Woolfield, one of the town's first British winter residents, by the English architect Thomas Smith and the master mason Odadhia Pulhan, in an English rustic style inspired by the 15th century. The park, planted with a wide variety of trees and exotic plants, was recognised in horticultural publications of the time. In 1874, Woolfield laid out the first tennis court on the French Riviera there. Sold in 1877, the property then passed into the hands of Augustus Murray, who enlarged it, and later of the Comte de Changy; Baroness Betty de Rothschild rented it in 1880 before having her own villa built nearby. In 1952, it was converted into a co-ownership and divided into apartments by the Cannes architects Louis Lafond and Eugène Lizero.
