Victoria Hall 1

On 7th September 1860, the Prince of Wales* officially opened the building, named for his mother Queen Victoria.

Victoria Hall is a local landmark here in Cobourg and is, to this day, used as our municipal offices, council chambers, court room (popular wedding destination) and a concert hall/theatre.

The bell tower (still in use) can be seen up and down King Street (our main drag) and even by boats from Lake Ontario.  It’s one of my favourite buildings, especially when the sun is shining down on it’s white paintwork and that’s why Victoria Hall is today’s one tiny beautiful thing.

*Prince Albert Edward (affectionately known as Bertie) who eventually became King Edward VII.
