Windsor Castle
About Windsor Castle
England
Windsor Castle is one of the oldest and largest inhabited castles in the world, and it has been a royal residence for over 1,000 years. Located in Windsor, about 20 miles west of London, the castle is still an official residence of the British monarch. It serves as a venue for royal ceremonies, state banquets, and other significant events. Originally built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, Windsor Castle has been expanded and renovated through the centuries, making it an iconic symbol of the British monarchy. You can explore the State Apartments, which are beautifully decorated and used for official functions. The rooms are filled with fine art, historic furniture, and royal artifacts. St. George’s Chapel, a stunning Gothic building, is one of the most notable parts of the castle. It has hosted royal weddings, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s in 2018, and it is also the burial site of many monarchs, such as Henry VIII and Charles I. The Round Tower, one of the oldest parts of the castle, offers sweeping views of Windsor and the surrounding landscape. The Changing of the Guard ceremony at Windsor Castle is a popular event, similar to the one at Buckingham Palace, and showcases soldiers in traditional uniforms accompanied by music.
