The Victorian Gothic style of architecture is a popular style of architecture that emerged in the Victorian period between 1837 and 1901, based on an interpretation of the medieval Gothic style. It was a revival of Gothic architecture characterized by the use of Gothic arches, ornate tracery, steep gables, pointed spires, lancet windows, and other decorative elements. The key elements of this style include a steeply pitched roof with intricate gables, bargeboards, and pinnacles, a polygonal or circular tower or turret, and decorative elements like stained glass, wood carving, and ornamental ironwork. This style represents the Victorian-era interest in medievalism and romance.
