Hartlebury Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Hartlebury, United Kingdom.
The stone walls of Hartlebury Castle contain three floors of exhibition spaces, period rooms, and the extensive Hurd Library collection.
Built in the mid-13th century as a fortified manor house, the castle served as the principal residence of the Bishop of Worcester for over 800 years.
The Worcestershire County Museum within the castle presents collections of local archaeology, traditional crafts, and transportation exhibits from different periods.
