Historical Description

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest continuously inhabited castle in the world. It was founded by William the Conqueror shortly after 1070 on the banks of the River Thames and was enlarged over the centuries by successive English and British monarchs. The castle served as a royal residence, fortress, and administrative center, playing a central role in the history of the English monarchy. Today, Windsor Castle is one of the official residences of the British monarch and remains an enduring symbol of the British Crown.
