About Windsor Castle

Step through the gates of Windsor Castle, the world's oldest and largest occupied castle, and embark on a journey through more than 1,000 years of royal history. This magnificent fortress serves as an official residence of the British monarch and invites you to experience royal tradition, artistry and heritage firsthand.

Your visit takes you through the State Apartments, where ceremonial spaces adorned with exceptional artworks, intricate tapestries and historical furnishings provide a window into centuries of royal life. Marvel at Queen Mary's Dolls' House, a miniature palace complete with working lights and running water, and explore the Gothic splendour of St George's Chapel, which houses the tombs of ten monarchs including Henry VIII and Charles I. The extensive castle precincts offer panoramic views and opportunities to witness the pageantry of the Changing the Guard ceremony on select days.
