Arundel Castle in West Sussex is a magnificent Norman fortress founded in 1067, featuring the iconic Norman Keep alongside a medieval Gatehouse and Barbican. Extensive Victorian Gothic reconstruction during the 1870s–1890s transformed the castle into one of the great achievements of Victorian architecture, while preserving its original medieval structures. The elegantly restored interior showcases fine furniture, tapestries, and an exceptional art collection featuring works by Van Dyck, Gainsborough, and Canaletto. The castle's tranquil grounds include award-winning gardens, and visitors enjoy amenities including a restaurant, gift shop, and regular events such as open-air theatre performances and the Festival of History.
