Windsor Castle can be traced back to the 11th century with building work starting on the Castle around 1070.
Windsor Castle has always been a working palace. Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II used Windsor Castle as her private home where she would usually spend the weekend and as an official Royal residence. There are also the staff living at Windsor Castle which includes the titular head of the Castle community, the Constable and Governor of Windsor Castle; the Dean of Windsor, Military Knights of Windsor, housekeepers and soldiers. There are roughly 150 people living at the Castle itself.
Windsor Castle is owned by the state/crown and belongs to the reigning monarch by virtue of their position.
Windsor Castle tours
There are many different tours visiting Windsor Castle, just a couple of them are half day tours only to the castle, not including another attraction.
However, because Windsor is relatively close to London many tours have Windsor Castle as part of a day long tour, including other attractions such as The London Eye, Hampton Court, Buckingham Palace or further afield, Stonehenge.
