HISTORIC CASTLE IN ENGLAND!!!

in #life6 years ago

At 900 years old, Windsor Castle is the largest occupied castle and oldest official royal residence in the world. Windsor Castle is much more than a castle; the grounds include several homes, a large church and the royal palace. Situated 20 miles west of London, it is also the weekend home of Queen Elizabeth II.

Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is notable for its long association with the English and later British royal family and for its architecture. The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror.

KNOW THIS....hmmm.... NOT

The Royal Standard is flown at royal residences only when the sovereign is present. If the Union Flag flies above Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle or Sandringham House, it signals that the Queen is not in residence. ... Today, it flies above Holyrood Palace and Balmoral Castle when the Queen is not in residence.

MORE!!
Originally founded as one of a chain of fortresses to encircle and control London in the wake of the Norman invasion, Windsor Castle later became the headquarters of the Edward III’s chivalric Order of the Garter. The castle evolved into a major Royal residence, a function that continues today, and is currently the largest occupied castle in the world.
