The Queen's College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford, England.[2] The college was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Philippa of Hainault, queen of England.[3] It is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, primarily dating from the 18th century.
In 2018, the college had an endowment of £291 million,[4] making it the fourth-wealthiest Oxford college (after Christ Church, St. John's, and All Souls).
