Windsor+Castle

There are many castles in England and a lot of them belong to the Queen of England as her homes. But I wanted to know why it was so important. I knew it was the biggest castle in the world but I want to know more history on it. When I first heard of it I was told it covered 13 acres of land. I saw pictures of them and thought it was amazing. Windsor castle is very big and has a lot of paintings there, for example the portrait of Sir. James Gunn was painted in 1954. William the Conqueror picked where it was going to be which was high above the river Thames and by a hunting ground. In 1648 Charles 1 was held there like golden Wedding anniversary with a ball. Windsor castle is the oldest castle that has people still living there since some might be abandoned. So as you can see Windsor castle is very old but very interesting. The current queen of England still goes there and has lot of special gatherings and parties. It has a lot of history to it and has been renovated with stones by Henry II. So even though the place is 900 years old it still stands with stone.
