Durham Castle Museum

Uncover 900 years of history in this undefeated castle. Built in the Norman period as an imposing fortress, Durham Castle’s story is entwined with that of the Prince-Bishops of Durham, whose semi-regal status made them some of the most powerful and wealthy men in the country. Discover a castle that gradually turned into a lavish palace and then transformed in the Victorian period into a place of learning, as the home of University College, the founding college of Durham University.

Visitors can enjoy Durham Castle by guided tour and through special family event and tours.
