Attraction Introduction

Located in Berkshire, England, Windsor Castle is the largest inhabited castle in the world and one of the most important residences of the British Royal Family. Construction began in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, and it underwent expansions and restorations by several monarchs, blending medieval, defensive, and palatial architectural features. It houses the magnificent State Apartments, a rich art collection, and St. George's Chapel, the burial place of the British monarchs. Windsor Castle is not only a symbol of British history and royal authority but also an important venue for state events and the awarding of the Order of the Garter, attracting visitors from around the world every year.
