Villa Frederica

Villa Frederica is a summer residence of the Autelian royal family.

The villa is situated on the south-eastern Autelian coast, near to the city of Port-Fortune.

Built in 1906, the villa was purchased by Louise, Princess Royal of the United Kingdom in 1948 as a holiday home. After her marriage to King Alexander III in 1953, the villa was used extensively by the couple as a second home, with their principal residence being the Royal Palace in Santerre.

Queen Louise died in 1973, leaving the villa to her husband in her will. He continued to use it until his own death in 1979. When King Alexander died, he left the villa to his three daughters as co-owners. In 1996, Princesses Thyra and Victoria sold their shares of the villa to their sister Queen Marie-Claude for an estimated 2.5 million florins.

It is currently owned by Marie-Claude's granddaughter, Queen Marie-Agathe, and the Royal Family typically spend the months of August and September there.
