Like Westminster Abbey, St. George's Chapel is a royal mausoleum. Notables buried there include Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, as well as George V and Queen Mary. St. George's Chapel is a working chapel, with services held daily. Although the chapel is closed to visitors on Sundays, services are held there.
The origins of Windsor Castle date back to William the Conqueror, who built a stockade mound around 1070. Work was continued by Henry II, who constructed a round stone tower and three outer walls. Henry III built the western end of the lower court with a chapel on the site of the present Albert Memorial Chapel. In 1348, the chapel was used by Edward IV for the ceremony of the investiture of the Order of the Garter.
