Windsor Castle is one of three official residences of The Queen and has been home to the Sovereign for over 900 years. The Castle is the largest inhabited castle in the world and the oldest in continuous occupation.

A Royal home and fortress for over 900 years, the Castle remains a working palace today and tourists can stroll around the State Apartments. For part of the year visitors can also see the Semi State rooms, which are furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection including paintings by Van Dyck, Holbein, Rubens and Lawrence as well as fine tapestries and porcelain, sculpture and armour.

Over 1,000 years it has been altered and refurbished by successive monarchs. William the Conqueror chose the site, high above the river Thames and  a day's march from the Tower of London. It was intended to guard the western approaches to the capital.

Within the Castle complex there are many other attractions, including the Drawings Gallery, Queen Mary's dolls' house, and the fourteenth-century St. George's Chapel, the burial place of ten sovereigns and setting for many Royal weddings.
