What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Dover 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.
Dover Castle was built by the Normans in the 11th century, with significant fortifications added by King Henry II in the 12th century. It is important as one of the largest and most strategically significant castles in England, guarding the English Channel and playing a key role in national defense for centuries.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
