Windsor castle
Windsor Castle is the most beautiful and largest castle in Great
Britain
History of Windsor Castle
The castle has an ancient and
eventful history. The first
fortifications at Windsor on
the Thames were built by
William
the
Conqueror
immediately after his arrival
in England.
The castle reaches its true
heyday under Queen Victoria,
becoming a symbol of the
British monarchy.
Royal family residence
During
the
First
World
War,
anti-German
sentiments intensified in Great Britain, and George
V changed the family name of the dynasty, at the
same time renouncing all German titles. Instead of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the ruling British monarchy
becomes Windsor, after the name of the castle. The
reigning Queen Elizabeth II is also very fond of
Windsor Castle and spends a lot of time there.
