Durham Castle

Durham Castle was built in the 11th century as a motte and bailey castle in the 11th century, which was the section we slept in. The Prince-Bishop of Durham was in charge of it, on behalf of the crown, and sections were added over the centuries. In 1837 it was donated to the, then new, University of Durham.
