Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. It is open to visitors throughout the year.
Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs. Today The Queen spends most of her private weekends at the Castle.
Throughout its history, Windsor Castle has been redecorated, enlarged and rebuilt and today is also used regularly for ceremonial and State occasions.
Included in a tour of the State Apartments is Queen Mary's Dolls' House. Built between 1921 and 1924 for Queen Mary, consort of George V, by the leading British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, it includes contributions from over 1,500 of the finest artists, craftsmen and manufacturers of the early twentieth century.
