On this day, 28 years ago, on November 17, 1997 (October 18, 1997 in the lunar calendar), Windsor Castle was restored after five years and a huge amount of money. On November 17, 1997, Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom, which was severely damaged by fire, was officially restored. The project cost a total of £ 36.5 million. Windsor Castle, which has a history of more than 900 years, is located in the western suburbs of London. It is the summer residence and weekend vacation place of the British royal family. Some of the castle buildings were destroyed in a fire on November 20, 1992, and a total of 100 houses covering an area of approximately 7000 square meters were severely damaged. Fortunately, as the castle was under maintenance at that time, most of the precious art and furniture had been removed and were not destroyed by the fire. Windsor Castle has always been inhabited by members of the royal family, but the property rights are owned by the government. 75% of the cost of this restoration will be borne by the royal family and the rest will be paid by the government.
