He was famous for designing St Paul's Cathedral in London
This house is near the Windsor Bridge that crosses the River Thames, linking Windsor with Eton. Now it is a hotel with 96 rooms. It is on Thames Street in Windsor.
This was once the family home of Sir Christopher Wren and his family. He lived there until his death in 1723 (aged about 90 or 91). After his death, the house passed through various private owners, up until the early 20th century.
In the 1920s it opened as the Riverholme Restaurant and Guest House, its first incarnation as a hotel. Over the next 20 years or so, it was restored and sold many times - and then around 1950, its then owner James Mier built a second floor and a new wing, overlooking the Thames at Eton Bridge, increasing the number of rooms to 49.
At the same time Sir Christopher Wren's House was registered as a Grade II* listed building of historical and architectual interest.
In 1996, Goran Strok (Wren's Hotel Group) purchased the building, and straight away started a £4 million refurbishment programme. By winter 1997 the refurbishment was complete, and the hotel opened under its current name and management.
