Windsor Castle is the largest castle in Britain and is the chief residence of the British sovereign. The first castle was a simple structure built by William the Conqueror as a hunting lodge. The present castle dates from the 14th Century, but it was not until the reign of Charles II that it became a well-appointed Royal residence and is the oldest castle in continuous occupation.
