Historic royal residence with magnificent State Apartments, art treasures and imposing medieval fortifications.

Dominating the skyline above the Thames, Windsor Castle is the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle and a principal residence of the British monarch. Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has evolved from a Norman fortress into a lavish royal palace. Visitors tour the opulent State Apartments, adorned with masterpieces from the Royal Collection, intricate woodcarving, gleaming armour and rich tapestries. The castle has hosted state banquets, ceremonial occasions and royal weddings, making it a living stage for British history. The sweeping quadrangles, Round Tower and manicured grounds convey both defensive might and royal splendour.
