This great Norman fortress, partly in ruins, stands to the west of Oxford city center. The wooden fortifications on the motte castrale were replaced by stone in the 11th century and, like many similar sites in England, the castle was largely destroyed during the English Civil War. In the 18th century, what remained was converted into a prison. Today, guided tours take visitors into the bowels of the building to discover its varied and tormented history.

Je n'ai pas effectué la visite guidée, mais de l'extérieur l'édifice est très joli. Lors d'une balade à Oxford c'est un lieu sympathique à découvrir.
