Add to ORKGSide view along the south elevation on High Street, looking northwest; The Queen's College, founded 1341, is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. Queen's is centrally situated on the High Street, and is renowned for its eighteenth-century architecture. The magnificent frontage was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, part of a substantial rebuilding in the late 17th, early 18th century during which the impressive library (1693-1696) was built. Around 1700 the crucial decision was taken to rebuild the medieval College entirely, so that by the 1730s Queen's was the only Oxford college to be housed entirely in Baroque buildings.
