Description

Wolvesey Castle (Old Bishop's Palace) is the fascinating ruins of the medieval residence of the Bishops of Winchester. The impressive remains of the 12th-century palace allow you to imagine its former glory.

This is a place full of history, where you can admire some of the earliest water supply systems in medieval Britain. Of particular interest is the 27-meter-long eastern hall, designed for ceremonial gatherings.

Walking through the ruins, you can feel the atmosphere of the time when the castle was the center of ecclesiastical power. An excellent destination for history and architecture lovers!
