Architecture Tour in Windsor
The architecture of Windsor is a living catalog of design spanning centuries and styles. Structures like St George's Chapel tell stories that words alone cannot — the materials, the proportions, the craft behind each facade. Look closer and you'll find surprises like Eton College — the kind of detail that only rewards those on foot.
Windsor Castle has been a royal residence since William the Conqueror built the first fortifications here in the 11th century. The castle dominates the town from its hilltop position above the Thames. Queen Elizabeth II spent most of her weekends here, and it remains one of the official residences of the British monarch. The town below is a charming mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture.
