🕑 Added 2025-04-08 16:01:58 +0000 UTCWindsor Castle is located in the English town of Windsor in the south of England in the county of Berkshire. It is the largest continuously inhabited castle in the world. The River Thames flows below the castle (a walk here is magical) on its way eastwards to the capital, London, 35 kilometres away. Windsor Castle is also known as the "English Versailles". Its origins date back to 1078 when William the Conqueror built it. At that time it was still a wooden castle. It was not until his son that the first stone buildings were erected. The layout of the castle developed from the medieval fortifications. The Round Tower divides the castle into two different areas, the so-called Courtyards. St George's Chapel is located in the Lower Court, while the private royal apartments and the state apartments are in the Upper Court. With the exception of the private chambers, many of the rooms can be visited and are decorated with all kinds of valuable paintings. In St George's Hall, the ceiling is decorated with the coats of arms of past and present Knights of the Order of the Garter.
On 20 November 1992, a 🔥 broke out in the Queen's private chapel and spread rapidly. It was started by a halogen spotlight that goes over to a curtain. 15 hours, destroying nine of the most important state apartments. A further 100 rooms were severely damaged. The buildings at the Upper Court were badly damaged overall. A fifth of the castle's building area was damaged, totalling 9000 m². The renovation work took five years to complete. The renovation work was so good that it is very difficult to tell the difference between old and new! Kisses 😘
