Somerset House, built in 1547, is a former royal palace and stately home, and is now a center for art, culture and entertainment.

In the capital of Great Britain, London, the former royal palace Somerset House, which now functions as an art center, is burning. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but no structures were damaged. The BBC and Reuters wrote this on Saturday, August 17.

125 rescuers and 25 fire engines were brought to put out the fire. No one was killed.

“There are no works of art in this part of the building. The fire has been extinguished, it happened on the roof in a small area. The cause of the fire is still unknown,” said Assistant Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade Keeley. Foster.

He added that the building’s antiquity and decoration posed a fire challenge. Crews will remain on site overnight.

An announcement appeared on the Somerset House website that the center’s team is now focused on eliminating the consequences, providing space for rescuers to work, and canceling events that were due to take place at the palace on August 18 .

Somerset House was built in 1547. It is situated on a site overlooking the River Thames. It was once a royal palace, and now within its walls there is a center for art, culture and entertainment. The building was the residence of Princess Elizabeth before she was crowned king.
