Lincoln Castle, founded in 1068 by William the Conqueror, has stood as a symbol of authority and a seat of justice for hundreds of years, serving as both. Discover 1000 years of history – and the places where it took place. The Medieval Wall Walk offers breathtaking views, while the Victorian Prison offers a chance to walk in the footsteps of inmates. The Magna Carta Story is also available to learn more about it. Following William the Conqueror’s victory at the Battle of Hastings during 1066, he encountered persistent opposition and ordered the construction of a fortress at Lincoln as part of his effort to maintain control over the rebellious northern regions of the country. Aside from providing spectacular views, the castle’s dominating position also served as a constant reminder to the surrounding populace that they were under the control of the Normans.
