Victorian Gothic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also known as Victorian High Gothic, Victorian Gothic is a style of architecture popular in the middle and late 19th century. The term refers to a revival style that used medieval architectural forms, and took place during the reign of the British monarch Victoria I (1837-1901).

The term is Anglocentric because the style both predates Victoria's rule in Great Britain and was used outside her realm. In other countries, the term Gothic Revival is often applied to the style.
