Windsor Castle

Nine centuries after its construction, Windsor Castle continues to function as one of The Queen's official residences and includes the State Apartments, the formal rooms used for Court ceremonial and State and official occasions. They range from the smaller intimate rooms of Charles II's Apartments to the vast area of the Waterloo Chamber. These rooms are furnished with some of the most important works of art in the Royal Collection, including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Rubens, Holbein and Van Dyck as well as magnificent French and English furniture and porcelain. Other highlights include St George's Chapel and Queen Mary's Dolls' House. Regular exhibitions of treasures from the Royal Library are exhibited in the Drawings Gallery. Open daily, Windsor Castle is a royal palace and opening times and arrangements are subject to change at short notice.
