A Royal Residence--A Kid's Guide To Windsor Castle

The historical significance of Windsor Castle lies in its origins as a strategic fortification built by William the Conqueror in 1066. Initially not a royal residence, it became one under Henry I, who was followed by Henry II, who made significant enhancements, including the construction of stone walls and the King's Gate. Today, it captivates the imagination of children who dream of princes and palaces, as it remains a functioning royal residence and a remarkable example of medieval architecture in Europe.
