Lincoln Castle, England

The Lincoln Castle is a medieval castle located in the historic city Lincoln, England. The castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 on the ruins of the Roman town. The first castle built by William the Conqueror was probably constructed from the woods which was in the early 12th century replaced with a stone castle. During the next centuries was the Lincoln castle damaged in many occasions and was during the reigns of King Stephen (1135 - 1154) and King John (1199 - 1216) due the Baron's War the site of a siege. After the English Civil War (from 1642 to 1651) the castle lost its importance as a stronghold and between 1787 and 1878 served as a prison.

Besides being one of the most impressive Norman castle in England and having two mottes (Lucy Tower and Observatory Tower) the Lincoln Castle is famous also for housing one of the four surviving originals of the Magna Carta sealed by King John in 1215. Today the Lincoln Castle is owned by Lincolnshire County Council and is open to the public.
