I took so many photos here that I will upload them in at least two parts so as not to completely overwhelm but there are too many good ones to cut them down, or maybe I am just indecisive. Corfe Castle is owned by the National Trust, the first stone was laid more than 1,000 years ago and it's since been home to its fair share of battles, mysteries and plots. Over the past 1000 years it's been a treasury, a military garrison, a royal residence and a family home. It was first built in the 12th century for King Henry I, William the Conqueror’s son. It survived several seiges between the cavaliers and the roundheads before an Act of Parliament was passed at Wareham to destroy the castle. It was later given to the National Trust.

There are a few routes to access the Castle, one up the side of the bank along a winding steep slope along side the sheep or through the little village of Wareham.

Great ancient buildings

The structures that survived 1000 years ago despite all the impossibilities, and today's buildings that collapsed like a house of cards in the slightest earthquake despite all the opportunities.

yeah I am recently really getting into the tartarian empire etc and the idea we were far more advanced than history reports.

Yo couldn't keep all those spectacular photographs, that castle was used to store royal treasures and as a prison how many stories happened in that place. Greetings.

Great story and photos. I am also interested in ancient architecture. It is very surprising how, without electricity, construction equipment, laser levels and other modern things, such beautiful and reliable buildings were made all over the world in those years, which are preserved to our time

there is a lot of evidence we used to have electricity even back in Egyptian times it was just hidden from us since it was free.
