Norwich Castle is a medieval royal fortification in the city of Norwich, in the English county of Norfolk. William the Conqueror (1066–1087) ordered its construction in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest of England. The castle was used as a gaol from 1220 to 1887. In 1894 the Norwich Museum moved to Norwich Castle. The museum and art gallery holds significant objects from the region, especially works of art, archaeological finds and natural history specimens.
The historic national importance of the Norwich Castle site was recognised in 1915 with its listing as a scheduled monument.[2] The castle buildings, including the keep, attached gothic style gatehouse and former prison wings, were given Grade I listed building status in 1954.[3] The castle is one of the city's twelve heritage sites, and is managed by the Norfolk Museums Service.
