What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Devizes Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Devizes Castle was built by Robert, Count of Mortain, in the 11th century, following the Norman Conquest of England. It is important as a key example of early Norman military architecture and played a strategic role in controlling the surrounding region.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
