Late English Gothic Style of Vaulting
The Windsor Castle, Berkshire
The Windsor Castle is a royal residence as well as the longest occupied palace in Europe (the 11th century-present). The interior design of the castle was renovated in perperdicular gothic style in the 15th century. The building also served as a military headquarter during the English Civil War (1642-1651) which caused a great damage to the structure. During the Restoration Period, Charles II restorated the castle in Baroque style. One century later, George III and George IV also renovated the castle by adding Baroque, Gothic, and Rococo elements to the design.
The ceiling of St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle features a great example of the English Gothic style of vaulting.
