Durham Castle

Durham Castle, built by the order of William the Conqueror in 1072, stands as one of England’s most significant Norman structures and a prime example of the elevated ‘motte-and-bailey’ fortress style. Located in the United Kingdom, the castle features a vast Great Hall, the 17th-century Black Staircase, and the Bishop’s Rooms. Today, while it serves as university residences, visitors can still explore these historic elements, immersing themselves in the rich history and architectural grandeur of this ancient fortress.
