Early Construction (1066 - 1070): Canterbury Castle was one of the three original royal castles built in Kent by the Normans after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Along with Rochester and Dover Castles, it was part of a network of fortifications designed to secure Norman control over southeastern England.
Strategic Location: Canterbury was an important religious and cultural center, home to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and lay on the main route between London and Dover, the gateway to the continent.
12th Century: In the early 12th century, during the reign of King Henry I, the original wooden structure of the castle was replaced with a more permanent stone keep. The stone keep at Canterbury Castle is one of the oldest in England
Fortification: The keep was the central defensive feature of the castle, and it was surrounded by a curtain wall with towers and a moat. The castle served as both a military stronghold and a prison, reflecting its dual role in protecting the kingdom and maintaining law and order.
Civil War and Siege: Canterbury Castle saw action during the civil war known as The Anarchy (1135-1153), a period of conflict between supporters of King Stephen and Empress Matilda.
