Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in
the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous
occupation. The castle's floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet (44,965 square metres).
Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the
principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends
of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining. Her other two residences,
Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle, are the Royal Family's private homes.
Most of the Kings and Queens of England, later Kings and Queens of Great Britain and later still
kings and queens of the Commonwealth realms, have had a direct influence on the construction
and evolution of the castle, which has been their garrison fortress, home, official palace, and
sometimes their prison.
The castle's history and that of the British monarchy are inextricably linked.
Chronologically the history of the castle can be traced through the reigns of the monarchs who
have occupied it. When the country has been at peace, the castlo has been expanded by the
additions of large and grand opartments: when the country has been at war, the castle has been
more heavily fortified. This pattern has continued to the present day.
