White Tower

The White Tower is the central stone keep of the Tower of London, begun under William the Conqueror in the late 11th century. It served as a royal residence, a strongpoint and a chapel, and by the medieval period was a major component of the castle complex.

As it stood in 1240

What White Tower looked like in its prime.

A massive Norman keep rendered white on exterior faces in 1240, with thick pale masonry and contrasting dressed stone quoins and arch surrounds. The tower has square corner turrets to the west and a round north‑east turret, small paired round‑arched windows on successive levels, a crenellated parapet and a projecting timber brattice at the roofline. The building sits on a grassy base within the castle inner ward and presents a severe, compact silhouette.
