Built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion, it has been used by the monarch since the time of Henry I and is described as Europe’s longest-occupied palace. Its grounds include St George’s Chapel, and its buildings reflect Norman, Gothic, Baroque and later architectural work. The castle was restored after a 1992 fire.
