Kenilworth Castle

Kenilworth Castle ist eine ehemalige Burg in Kenilworth in der englischen Grafschaft Warwickshire. Ursprünglich war die Burg vom Wald von Arden umgeben.

Das Kenilworth Castle wurde über mehrere Jahrhunderte gebaut. Gegründet um 1120, wurde die Burg wesentlich erweitert durch Johann Ohneland am Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts.

Die mittelalterliche Burg wurde für ihre umfangreichen Wasserbefestigungen bekannt. Eine erste Befestigung bestand hier bereits zur Zeit der Sachsen, die heute erhaltenen Ruinen stammen aus der Zeit der Normannen. Die Burg wurdet fast vollständig aus Buntsandstein errichtet.

Im Jahr 1821 schrieb Sir Walter Scott einen Roman, der den Besuch der Königin Elisabeth I. auf der Burg beschreibt.
