Bridgnorth Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Bridgnorth, United Kingdom
The remains of Bridgnorth Castle include a square great tower constructed during Henry II's reign, standing on elevated ground above the River Severn.
Robert de Belleme, son of French Earl Roger de Montgomery, established the castle in 1101 as a strategic fortification overlooking the River Severn.
The castle grounds contain a Grade II listed war memorial with a bronze statue dedicated to the Shropshire Light Infantry regiment.
Visitors can access the castle ruins and gardens from West Castle Street in Bridgnorth, offering views across the surrounding Shropshire landscape.
The remaining tower section leans at a 15-degree angle, which measures four times greater than the inclination of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
