Biggest House in the World |
Let’s say something to the biggest of them, the Windsor Castle whose area counts almost 46 thousand square meters. This castle has been renovated and changed many times through its history and today it has around one thousand rooms.
The Windsor Castle was built in the eleventh century by William the Conqueror and had a defensive role. It was situated on location that was easy to defend which is why it practically presented a fortress. Through out its thousand year old history many great people had been living in it and each of them gave his contribution to the look of the castle.
When Queen Elizabeth came to throne, she decided to make the Windsor Castle the main royal weekend retreat. The works on renovating this fortress have been constantly on, so it has always been in the best shape. It is interesting that this complex fortress had its first castle made of wood and it took time until Henry I finally changed the wood construction into stone.
