What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Rougemont 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.

Rougemont Castle was built by the de Montalt family in the 13th century and later held by the Bishops of Durham. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval episcopal castle and as a strategic stronghold in the northern English border region.
