Arundel Castle, in Arundel, West Sussex, England, stands as a testament to history. Originally built by Roger de Montgomery in the 11th century, the castle was later damaged during the English Civil War and was subsequently restored during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The 11th Duke of Norfolk commissioned the most intriguing feature - the folly - during the Gothic Revival in 1787. This enigmatic structure, built by Francis Hiorne, serves as a testament to the Duke's love for the Gothic Revival style. Today, Arundel Castle welcomes visitors to delve into its rich history and uncover its hidden treasure.
