Bungay Castle

Bungay Castle is a medieval castle site in Bungay, Suffolk, with Norman origins around 1100 and later medieval additions. The surviving remains today include the twin cylindrical gate towers of the gatehouse, stretches of curtain wall and a fragment of the square Norman keep. The site sits on a pronounced curve of the River Waveney and is a Grade I listed monument.

As it stood in 1294

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact medieval fortress sited on a bend of the River Waveney, dominated by two massive cylindrical gate towers set close together to form the gatehouse, with a continuous curtain wall running back from them. Materials are rough flint and pale coursed stone with lower ashlar repairs visible. A large square Norman keep stood within the bailey (now a fragment), the skyline in prime showing intact towers and a continuous stone curtain enclosing a grassy inner ward.
