قلعه ویندسور

قلعه ی ویندسور در کشور انگلستان، بزرگ ترین قلعه ی این کشور و همچنین از بزرگ ترین قلعه های جهان است که هنوز هم در آن اقامت می شود. در واقع ملکه الیزابت دوم، ملکه ی انگلستان چندین اقامتگاه رسمی دارد که ویندسور هم یکی از آن هاست او بیشتر آخر هفته ها و تعطیلات خود را در آن می گذراند. سال 1070 میلادی جنگی بین انگلیس و نروژ پیش آمد. این جنگ باعث شد تا از قصر وینزر به عنوان قلعه استفاده کنند. از آن پس قلعه وینزر هم در لیست قلعه های جهان قرار گرفت که برای دفاع از حملات دشمن کاربرد داشت. این قلعه سال‌های زیادی محل اسکان پادشاهان و خانواده آن‌ها بود. به مرور زمان پادشاهان سلطنتی انگلیس به بازسازی این قلعه پرداختند. مثلا هنری سوم یک کاخ سلطنتی باشکوه در این قلعه ساخت. هم اکنون خاندان سلطنتی انگلیس اداره قلعه وینزر از قلعه های معروف جهان را به عهده دارند.

A fantastic place to see. The history of the royal family was really interesting. There's a lot of walking, but it isn't as steep as the castle in Edinburgh. You can't take photos inside, which is a bummer, because there are so many photo opportunities and such beautiful works of art. The chapel is closed on Sunday. We didn't get to see it.

I visited Windsor Castle yesterday and absolutely loved the experience. The castle is incredibly impressive, full of history and beautifully maintained. Walking through the State Apartments felt like stepping back in time, and the views over the surrounding area were stunning. The atmosphere was calm and majestic, and everything was very well organised. I was especially impressed by St George’s Chapel — truly breathtaking. It was a memorable visit and definitely worth seeing if you’re in the area. Highly recommended.

One of the most impressive attractions I’ve ever visited. The architectural structure is stunning, the level of maintenance is extremely high, and the rooms inside the castle are truly breathtaking. A must-visit. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed inside, but the experience is still absolutely amazing. Highly recommended!

The castle is amazing! Could probably skip the doll house if short on time. The state apartments are a sight to see, sadly no pbotos inside of the castle only the exterior. Got to see the changing of the Kingsguard. Very much worth a trip. Came with a tour group, our group was first in line.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍. All the family loved it! Also it was very nice that the audio guide was included in the price ticket, we have learned so much and our children had fun spotting different parts of objects around the rooms. We have visited on a Friday afternoon and it was crowded! Even so, plenty of room to move around and enjoy it. It took us about 2 hours, but we skipped the Queen's Doll House, the queue for that was ridiculous.

It is a beautiful town with the famous Windsor Castle. The castle is has been preserved meticulously. Queen Mary’s doll house is worth seeing. You can stroll in the castle and sniff all the history. Also there is an amazing cafe and eatery towards the exit and out in the backyard.

Visiting Windsor Castle is an unforgettable experience and a true journey through British history. As the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, it is incredibly well maintained and rich in heritage. The State Apartments are breathtaking, filled with magnificent artwork, royal treasures, and elegant interiors. St George’s Chapel is especially moving — its architecture is stunning, and it holds immense historical and spiritual significance as the resting place of many monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II. The castle grounds are beautifully kept, offering lovely views and a peaceful atmosphere. From the Queen's Gallery, we enjoyed the stunning elevated views of the 5,000-acre Windsor Great Park. and even saw members of the Royal Family riding in a horse-drawn carriage. For a moment, surrounded by such a magnificent royal presence, we felt like royalty ourselves. The parade of the Royal Guards, dressed in their iconic red uniforms and tall bearskin hats, a sight that perfectly captured the grandeur of British royal tradition. On another visit to the castle, our purpose was to attend Holy Mass at the magnificent St George’s Chapel, the palace church. We were blessed to attend the Sung Eucharist at 10:45 a.m. on a Sunday, an experience that was truly holy and uplifting. As it was Sunday, sightseeing was not permitted in certain areas of the castle, including the resting place of Queen Elizabeth II. The staff are professional and helpful, and the audio guide adds great depth to the visit. It’s well worth spending several hours here to fully appreciate everything. Windsor Castle is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the British royal family.

Sehr schönes Schloss! Besonders die Kapelle und die Gemächer haben mir richtig gut gefallen. Schade nur, dass wir die berühmte Treppe der Kapelle nicht sehen konnten, weil kein Zutritt war. Das Restaurant im Schloss können wir auch sehr empfehlen.

Wonderful visit. Beautiful outdoor spaces and stunning staterooms. The Christmas decorations were superb. Enjoyed every minute, including the cafes, kiosks and stores. Accessibility was world class, with step free entry to everywhere if needed. The staff were so attentive and friendly. We will visit again when in the area.

Enjoyed my visit to Windsor Castle. This was my second visit, but first in over ten years. The staff were friendly and helpful. The stunning architecture and rich history are truly captivating. I chose the first time slot of the day, but it was still a bit crowded. The State Apartments are beautifully decorated for Christmas. Exploring the Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is always a fav. Seeing all the tiny details, and learning about the maintenance is extraordinary. The Great Kitchen Tour was informative and enjoyable. The audio guide was very informative. I loved that it gave directions too.

Adult ticket is 36 GBP. The castle is full of paintings, furniture masterpieces and stories. Inside you find cafes and restaurant to eat some basic dishes. In case you buy a ticket you can convert it to a yearly pass.

Windsor Castle is a stunning piece of history, but honestly, unless you're really passionate about British history or royal heritage, the £32 quid entrance fee might not be worth it. The castle itself is impressive, with beautiful architecture and lots of fascinating stories, but for the price, you might expect a bit more depth. It's a great spot if you're an enthusiast, but casual visitors may find it underwhelming for the cost.

Castillo espectacular cercano al aeropuerto de Heathrow. En mi opinión un poco cara la entrada 36 libras. Aunque creo que es una visita necesaria y muy completa. Te dan audioguía con la entrada y esde agradecer. Dentro apenas te dejan sacar fotografías o vídeos. Pero puedes visitar en las salas más importantes y son espectaculares. Me parece especialmente recomendable la casa de muñecas. Para aparcar nosotros conseguimos sitio cerca del castillo a 2 minutos andando,no había que pagar.

非常值得參觀的一個城堡，當然這個溫莎城堡知名度也非常高，不過社會台灣人今天卻被周遭的中國遊客包圍了？也太多大陸人了吧。 倫敦市區到這裡非常簡單，只要搭機場捷運快線，往雷丁的方向，再轉個火車車或是公交車車就到了。 進入溫莎城堡是不能拍照的，所以…..完全沒有一張照片室內部的參觀照片。

The grounds are lovely and of course the castle is awe-inspiring. The art and antiques and history, the scope of the rooms, the dollhouse replica of the castle are all so beautiful and interesting. Unfortunately you can't take photos, which is somewhat understandable as it is a residence, but since you can walk through on a tour, it seems kind of silly that you can't take photos. Definitely be sure to see St. George's Chapel and if you're there on the right day, you can catch the changing of the guard.

Close up, the castle looked truly awesome. It was a sunny winter day and the walls and turrets, despite their ruggedness looked compellingly aesthetic and beautiful the more one looked at them. A must-see in London. The changing of the guards is iconic and on show every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The cobblestone alleys, quaint pubs, eateries, churches and shopping nearby provides for a memorable day-long outing. Step inside the 200 year old Church of St John the Baptist if you can to marvel at some exquisite architecture, and possibly watch the organist play the historic pipe organ inside.

A Breathtaking Journey Through History My visit to Windsor Castle was an absolutely unforgettable experience. It is not just a castle; it is a living monument to British history and royalty, and it truly deserves its reputation. The castle itself is magnificently grand and imposing, set against beautifully manicured lawns and pristine gardens. The contrast between the sturdy, historic stone walls and the flawless green landscaping is strikingly beautiful. Inside, the arrangement of the State Apartments is both logical and fascinating. Each room flows into the next, revealing its unique function, from grand halls for ceremonies to more intimate living quarters. They are beautifully preserved and offer a genuine sense of how the palace operated. Furthermore, the furnishings are not merely decorative; they are functional pieces of art. The vast and diverse collections are utterly precious. I was particularly captivated by the extensive array of portraits of royal members. These paintings, varying in size, are so vividly lifelike that they seem to breathe, telling the story of the monarchy across the centuries. The entire visit was an eye-opening and dazzling spectacle. It leaves one in deep awe of the British Royal Family's centuries of influence, global history, and their immense accumulation of cultural and artistic treasures. It was, without a doubt, a trip that was worth taking in every sense.

Windsor Castle – absolut sehenswert Windsor Castle ist beeindruckend und wirkt live noch größer und massiver als auf Bildern. Die State Apartments sind perfekt erhalten, prunkvoll und zeigen sehr direkt, wie die britische Monarchie über Jahrhunderte gelebt hat. Die Ausstellung ist gut aufgebaut und liefert ohne viel Drumherum die wichtigsten Infos. Die St. George’s Chapel ist ein weiterer Höhepunkt – historisch dicht, wunderschön und kein übertriebener Schnickschnack. Man merkt sofort, welche Bedeutung sie für die Monarchie hat. Die Besucherführung läuft geordnet, das Personal ist freundlich und erklärt bei Bedarf kurz und knapp, was wichtig ist. Unterm Strich: Wer in London ist und etwas sehen will, das wirklich Substanz hat, sollte Windsor Castle einplanen.

2 heures de visite avec audioguide. Il n'est pas possible de prendre de photos à l'intérieur. C'est vraiment magnifique, une belle collection de peintures, d'objets d'art, de mobilier. Il vaut mieux réserver son billet, le temps d'attente pour les contrôles de sécurité sont courts. Une visite indispensable et facilement accessible en train depuis Londres.
