Castle Keep
Newcastle
Castle Keep Newcastle upon Tyne's Castle Keep was built by order
of King Henry II of England between 1168 and 1178.
The keep stands on a site of an earlier
"motte and bailey castle" built by Robert Curthose,
the son of William the Conqueror. Prior to this, it was the
site of Pons Aelius, a Roman Fort.
The Keep is a Grade 1 listed building,
and a Scheduled Ancient monument. It is currently owned by
Newcastle City Council and managed by the Society of Antiquaries
of Newcastle upon Tyne, one of the world's oldest antiquarian
societies. The City's Blackgate stands adjacent to the Keep.
