This was originally King Leopold's palace before his murder at the hands of the Genie of Agrabah and the Evil Queen. It was built for Leopold's first wife, and was the family's summer home. After his death, the Evil Queen took it as her home. Hansel and Gretel were invited to live there, but they rejected the Queen's offer; the Woodcutter was a prisoner there before he, too, was banished; and the Huntsman was put there to be the Queen's pet.
