A walk through history
Pick up your handy multilingual multimedia guide and begin your fascinating journey through 1,000 years of royal history at Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Marvel at the impeccable artwork and lavish furnishings as you stroll through the magnificent State Apartments. These works seamlessly reflect the changing tastes of the Castle's royal occupants, especially those of Charles II and George IV. Along with masterpieces from the likes of Holbein, Rubens, and Van Dyck, you can admire some exquisite specimens of English and French furniture.
Art, architecture, and royalty
Visit the St. George’s Chapel and see the final resting place of former monarchs like Henry VIII, Jane Seymour, Queen Mary, Charles I, Edward VII, and Queen Alexandra. It is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, so don't miss the chance to admire its stone ceiling and ornate walls. From October to March, you can explore the Semi-State Apartments, private apartments created for George IV. Feast your eyes on some of the most elaborately decorated rooms in the Castle with richly colored wallpaper and golden furniture.
