National Chassigne Museum

The National Chassigne Museum is an institution in central Kashmir, Sabrateur, dedicated to the Royal Family of Sabrateur. Indeed, it was the Royal Palace until 2000, when the current monarch, King Alexander James Chassigne V, elected to leave the palcae and reside elsewhere. He subsequently donated the palace to the Sabratese Heritage Guild, who refurbished the magnificent building and turned it into a museum for public viewing. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Sabrateur, with many foreign tourists interested in the history of Sabrateur's grand monarchy. For this reason, it is the Guild's flagship attraction, with more than 6 million visitors recorded in the years 2005-2006.

Building

The Palace was built in 1627 by the order of King John Nicholas II. The architecture was influenced by the modern designs of Calumniun buildings, something which was radically different to the relatively old designs of the Sabratese infrastructure. It was constructed from the finest stone from the mines in Rusholme, Sabrateur, and embellsished with gold and marble flourishes. To this day it is heralded for its magnificence, and is the benchmark for luxury in Sabrateur.

Gardens

As well as fine architecture, the palace also benefits from excellent landscaping in its gardens. Many exotic plants were imported from foreign nations like Dhatsun and Buttery Boonswoggles, so that they may co-inhabit an environment with native Sabratese plants. Inamongst the foliage there is a waterfall, which many believed to cure the lame, however this has since been disproven.
