The Chateau Ste. Ursule, Cannes, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Chateau Ste. Ursule, Cannes, 1857. We have now to record a recent architectural addition to this favoured locality, in a handsome Gothic castle, which has passed, by purchase, into the possession of Lord Londesborough. The Chateau...stands in a position at once commanding and picturesque. The site, no doubt, was chosen with this object, and the selection has been a happy one; for it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in Europe...Upon the rising ground, eastward of the Castle, may be seen the ruins of a Moorish tower and the Roman Catholic Church. Immediately behind, to the eastward, and upon the lower ground, is the town of Cannes...The Chateau Ste. Ursule, the Chateau la Bouche, and the Protestant Church, were erected from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas Smith, of Hertford, and Hart-street, Bloomsbury'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chateau Ste. Ursule in Cannes, France, as depicted in this 1857 wood engraving from the Illustrated London News, showcases a stunning architectural addition to the picturesque town on the French Riviera. The Chateau, which has since passed into the possession of Lord Londesborough, stands proudly in a commanding position, surrounded by some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in Europe. The site was carefully chosen for its breathtaking views, and the selection proved to be a happy one. In the foreground, the ruins of a Moorish tower and the Roman Catholic Church can be seen, while behind and to the east lies the town of Cannes. The Chateau, along with the Chateau la Bouche and the Protestant Church, were designed and superintended by Thomas Smith of Hertford and Hart-street, Bloomsbury. This 19th century Neo-Gothic castle, with its fortifications and Victorian Gothic style, is a testament to the grandeur of the era and the allure of the Mediterranean coast. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the exterior beauty of the Chateau Ste. Ursule, inviting us to imagine the splendors that lie within.
