Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle is a royal residence in Windsor, Berkshire, long occupied by English and British monarchs and incorporating nearly a millennium of building phases. The site combines fortification, palace and chapel elements, with a central motte and Round Tower, a concentric Upper Ward containing the State Apartments, and the 15th-century St George's Chapel within its walls.

As it stood in 1820

The shape it held in its prime.

A broad, tree‑lined approach leads up to a castellated quadrangle dominated by a large cylindrical Round Tower set on a motte at the west edge. The Upper Ward presents battlemented curtain walls, rectangular and square towers with crenellations, and a central gatehouse facing the long axial avenue. Walls are of warm Bagshot Heath stone with galleted mortar and Bath stone Gothic dressings; terraces step down to parkland and the River Thames beyond. St George's Chapel rises with perpendicular pinnacles inside the ward.
