Rochester Castle
One of the best-preserved castle stone towers in England and even France belongs to Rochester Castle in Kent. The 12th-century Norman architecture keep is the main feature of the whole castle. Unfortunately, to this day, only the walls of the keep survive while floors and roof are no longer intact.
The castle’s construction began at the end of the 11th century by Bishop of Rochester, and the square towers were added approximately 40 years later. The castle was one of the main strongholds in the rebellion against King John.
