Warwick Various ArtistsWarwick Castle is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle in Warwickshire, England, originally built in 1068 by William the Conqueror and later reconstructed in stone during the 12th century. It showcases significant 14th-century military architecture and served as a stronghold until the early 17th century, when it was transformed into a country house by Sir Fulke Greville following its royal ownership. The castle remained under the Greville family's control until 1978, when it was purchased by the Tussauds Group, and is now managed by Merlin Entertainments, serving as a popular tourist attraction.
