Norwich Castle was completed in stone in 1121, it was designed to be a royal palace. But no Norman King ever lived in it. The keep was built using limestone shipped from Caen in France at a cost of over three times the original value of the stone. From the 14th century the keep was used as a county gaol until a new gaol was constructed both inside and around the keep in 1792-93.
In 1883 the county gaol moved to Mousehold Heath and work began on converting the castle into a museum. The Castle was opened as a museum in 1894 and is still a museum now.
There is Battlement experience, Dungeon tour and the Fighting Gallery tour.
