Bridgnorth Castle
Bridgnorth Castle is a medieval castle in the town of Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Founded in 1101, its principal square great tower and extended curtain walls were constructed and enlarged in the 12th century. The site was largely demolished after a Civil War siege in the 17th century and today survives as fragmented masonry on Castle Hill.

As it stood in 1174
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, hillside medieval fortress dominated by a tall, square great tower set within continuous curtain walls and a projecting mural turret; the massing reads as a thick stone rectangle rising from a raised mound. Walls are built of coursed red-brown sandstone with dressed faces and rubble infill, punctured by narrow vertical openings and concealed wall-bays. At the summit the tower and adjacent ranges form a continuous roofline; the surrounding slope has scattered trees and enclosure fencing at the base.
