Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, and King Charles III loved to spend weekends at this stunning fortress. Built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, the castle remains the royal family's favorite residence. This grand home covers 13 acres and overlooks the charming town of Windsor—take a tour and discover why our royals have lived here for centuries!
The State Apartments
Take a look at the working heart of the palace—the State Apartments. Regularly used for ceremonial and official occasions, the apartments are decorated with some of the finest artwork from the Royal Collection. See paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Leonardo da Vinci hanging on the walls! During the winter months, the lavishly decorated Semi-State Rooms are added to the visitor route.
Queen Mary's Doll's House
Built especially for Queen Mary by renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 1920s, Queen Mary's Dolls' House is a magical miniature residence with extraordinary attention to detail. Complete with working lights, running water, and a small garden, this dollhouse is a perfect replica of an aristocratic home. The library is filled with original works by famous writers of the time!
