The Watch Tower

The Watch Tower

Warwick Castle ranks amongst the most famous and daunting castles in the whole world. Its turbulent history even adds to the castle’s mysteriously magnificent aura. This massive stone fortress was constructed as a Wooden Motte and Bailey Castle by William the Conqueror. It was able to survive siege warfare to the Age of Medieval Knights and Chivalry and the English Civil War. One of the castle’s main features is its access to the River Avon. During the enlargement of the Warwick Castle, equipment and building materials were transported by boats to the castle site.

The two main round towers of The Warwick Castle were built at the front of the Castle. The Chapel, as well as a large hall, were also built against the south wall. Various additions were then made as time passed by – The Guys Tower and Caesar’s Tower were added at the end of the 14th century.
