Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1068. It was originally a wooden motte-and-bailey castle. During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified. In 1978, it was bought by the Tussauds Group, which merged with Merlin Entertainments in 2007. Merlin continues to operate the site under a renewable 35-year lease.
