Description

Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, has been a site of immense historical, cultural, and architectural importance for nearly a thousand years.

This captivating history of the castle traces its evolution from a Norman motte-and-bailey established by William the Conqueror around 1070, through the Middle Ages, the English Civil War, the Restoration of the monarchy, two world wars, and the devastating fire of 1992, to its status as the premier royal residence today.

Beautifully illustrated with spectacular paintings, drawings, and photographs from the Royal Collection, this book also includes newly commissioned photography of the castle as it appears today. Reconstructions of the castle at significant moments in its history reveal the extraordinary transformation of this iconic building.
