Devizes Castle
open-in-new
<p>Devizes Castle was a medieval fortification in the town of <a href="/facts/Devizes/I2uY5lfV">Devizes</a>, Wiltshire, England, on a site now occupied by a Victorian-era <a href="/facts/Castle/1mKnEHKJ">castle</a>. It is a Grade I listed building. The original castle (not currently visible) was overbuilt by the current structure. Records indicate that the first castle on the site had its origins in about 1080 as an early Norman motte and bailey with wooden pallisade and tower. </p>
