After over 150 years, the Inner Hall of Windsor Castle $4.
According to the BBC, Inner Hall was $4 by King George IV. He used it as a State Entrance Hall, a place where to greet his guests.
But it was Queen Victoria, who, in 1866, closed the Inner Hall, hoping to build a smaller State Entrance. Ultimately, her intention never came to fruition. Instead the Inner Hall remained closed and was used as a storage room throughout the following decades.
Now, the $4 has announced that the Inner Hall has reopened. The project is part of the Future Programme, a series by the Trust to "enhance the visitor experience at Windsor Castle," per $4 released by the Royal Collection Trust.
The Inner Hall is in a part of Windsor Castle that dates back to the 14th century, when King Edward III transformed the castle from a $4. Since then, it has been in use as one of many British royal residences.
Here's what the Inner Hall looks like today.
