Es thront \u00fcber der Themse in der Stadt Windsor in Berkshire, etwa 35 km westlich der Londoner Innenstadt. Das Schloss ist zugleich aktiver K\u00f6nigspalast und beliebtes Ausflugsziel und seit mehr als 900 Jahren Heim der Monarchie. Im 11. Jahrhundert gegr\u00fcndet, ist es eine der offiziellen Residenzen des britischen Monarchen und das \u00e4lteste und gr\u00f6\u00dfte bewohnte Schloss der Welt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geschichte und Bedeutung<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Windsor Castle wurde um 1070 von Wilhelm dem Eroberer als Teil eines Festungsrings um London errichtet. Seine Lage auf einem Kreider\u00fccken \u00fcber der Themse machte es zugleich zur Festung und zur k\u00f6niglichen Residenz. Fast jeder Monarch hat es seitdem umgebaut oder erweitert; nach einem Gro\u00dfbrand 1992, der mehr als 100 R\u00e4ume besch\u00e4digte, war das Schloss bis 1997 vollst\u00e4ndig restauriert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architektur<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Das Schloss erstreckt sich \u00fcber etwa 13 Hektar und vereint Elemente der mittelalterlichen, georgianischen und viktorianischen Architektur. Zu seinen wichtigsten Merkmalen geh\u00f6ren:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Der Rundturm, der auf einer Anh\u00f6he steht und einen Panoramablick auf die umliegende Landschaft bietet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Die Staatsgem\u00e4cher, die mit Kunstwerken aus der k\u00f6niglichen Sammlung, darunter Gem\u00e4lde von Van Dyck, Rubens und Rembrandt, pr\u00e4chtig ausgestattet sind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>St George\u2019s Chapel, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, which serves as a royal church and the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter. Several monarchs, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth II, are buried there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The castle\u2019s blend of defensive fortifications and luxurious living spaces makes it a unique architectural and historical landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Besichtigung des Schlosses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Windsor Castle is open to visitors from Thursday to Monday; it is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and occasionally for official events. Visitors can see the State Apartments, Queen Mary\u2019s Dolls\u2019 House and St George\u2019s Chapel, which is closed to sightseers on Sundays, when it is open only for worship. The Changing of the Guard usually takes place at 11:00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and more often in spring and early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00d6ffnungszeiten:<\/strong><br>Von M\u00e4rz bis Oktober ist das Schloss von 10:00 bis 17:15 Uhr ge\u00f6ffnet, von November bis Februar von 10:00 bis 16:15 Uhr. Letzter Einlass 75 Minuten vor Schlie\u00dfung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eintrittspreise:<\/strong><br>In 2026 an adult ticket costs \u00a332 when booked in advance or \u00a336 on the day. Young people aged 18\u201324 pay \u00a321, children aged 5\u201317 pay \u00a316, and under-5s go free. A multimedia guide in several languages is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anreise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mit dem Zug:<\/strong><br>From London Waterloo, direct trains run to Windsor &amp; Eton Riverside in about 55 minutes. From London Paddington, change at Slough for the short shuttle to Windsor &amp; Eton Central; the trip takes about 30\u201340 minutes. Both stations are a short walk from the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mit dem Auto:<\/strong><br>Windsor ist \u00fcber die Autobahn M4 (Ausfahrt 6) zu erreichen. In der Stadt Windsor gibt es mehrere \u00f6ffentliche Parkpl\u00e4tze, aber die Parkm\u00f6glichkeiten in der N\u00e4he des Schlosses sind begrenzt, daher empfiehlt es sich, fr\u00fch zu kommen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mit dem Bus oder auf Tour:<\/strong><br>Von der Londoner Innenstadt aus werden zahlreiche F\u00fchrungen und Busreisen angeboten, die h\u00e4ufig Hin- und R\u00fcckfahrt sowie Eintrittskarten beinhalten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Was sie ber\u00fchmt macht<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and is closely linked with the royal family. Elizabeth II spent much of her life here, and royal weddings, including that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, have taken place in St George\u2019s Chapel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
