St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle

St George's Chapel is the church at Windsor Castle in England. The chapel is governed by the Dean and Canons of Windsor and is found in the Lower Ward of the castle.

The status of the Abbey is that of a Royal Peculiar. This means it is place of worship that falls directly under the jurisdiction of the British monarch, rather than under a bishop. The concept dates from Anglo-Saxon times, when a church could ally itself with the monarch and therefore not be subject to the bishop of the area. Technically speaking, it is not a cathedral, though it has a similar status. Many Royal weddings and other ceremonies with the British Crown have taken place there.

Absolutely incredible and long lines these days. Keep it moving inside and be respectful of the line. Don't be that person who cuts the line. You're not the only one waiting!

Hearing and seeing my grandson sing as a chorister in this magnificient place was amazing. Absolutely a beautiful site and sound to say the least. Linda Lee Wolbrink.

Final resting place of many famous people including royalty. Very historic, worth taking some time.

Youre not allowed to take photos inside. Bright side: more time to enjoy the Tudor/Gothic architecture.

súper bonita arquitectura, lugar muy rico en historia. Interesante conocer dónde yace la familia real. Vale la pena dedicarle un tiempo.
