We are often prompt to critizise because a sentence doesn't make sense, until we think: What about another context?
You seem to have talent to find good context and this hability of yours help me to accept the Portuguese phrases for what they are: tools to learn vocabulary. Obrigado pela ajuda. 2020 08 27

Can anyone explain why we have "para" here and if it's necessary to use it in this context?

This sentence would be far better if "por" was used, because people will seldom look "at" or "towards" a window, but they will certainly regularly look "through" a window.
