Windsor Castle
Located in the town of Windsor, England, Windsor Castlehas been around for over a thousand years and is a favorite of the British royal family. It is also a popular tourist attraction. This 11th century structure is home to over 150 people, including a palace steward, wine butler, and many footmen. It is also a popular location for the British Royal wedding.
The Great Kitchen at Windsor is the oldest working kitchen in the UK. The kitchen has been in continuous use for more than 650 years. The kitchen is staffed with a culinary team of 20 chefs. The kitchen has served 32 of the 39 monarchs of England and Britain. The kitchen is also famous for its fast-running kitchen clocks, which ensure that the King gets his food on time.
Queen Mary's Dollhouse at Windsor Castle is one of the most elaborate and detailed doll houses in the world. The doll house was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Queen Mary in the 1920s. It features incredible detail, including real wine, electricity, and a fully-stocked wine cellar. It is also one of the largest miniature homes in the world.
Windsor Castle was originally a motte and bailey castle, built on a mound in the 11th century. After William I's Conquest of England in 1066, Windsor Castle served as a defensive strategy to protect the city of London. The original wooden keep was built in the Middle Ward, which is on top of the motte. This area was made from chalk excavated from the site.
Windsor Castle is also known for its haunted forest, which is home to many secret passages. There have been several reports of ghostly visitors. Anne Boleyn is reported to haunt the Dean's Cloister at Windsor, and guests have also heard King Henry VIII moaning and pacing in the halls. It is also rumored that the future Queen Elizabeth II slept in a dungeon.
Windsor Castle was the place where the British royal family hid during World War II. Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret took shelter in the castle while the war raged. The castle was also the place where the Queen and her late husband Philip stayed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The castle also sheltered Queen Elizabeth I, who was thought to be living in the castle during the plague.
The Royal Standard was raised at every royal residence. It is divided into four quarters, each representing a part of the country: Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales. It is also used to show the Union Jack. It is usually raised at 11am on most days of the month.
The royal family still lives at Windsor Castle today. The castle is located just a few miles west of the outer suburbs of London. The castle is also close to Heathrow airport. There are dozens of people working at the castle, including skilled conservationists and archivists. All of the cars at the castle are made by Rolls-Royce.
