Initially an 11th century timber stronghold, the subsequent stone castle was constructed in the 12th century by the Breton Lords. Even though remnants of this impressive structure remain, it is well worth noting Henry V was born in the upper quarters of the Great Tower. The Civil War left its mark on the tower via slighting, however, the Marquis of Worcester built a worthy replacement in the form of the castle house.

  • 最初11世纪木材堡垒，随后石城堡在第12个世纪被修建了由不列塔尼的阁下。 即使这个印象深刻的结构残余保持，它是很好值得注意的亨利五世出生在伟大的塔的上部处所。 内战在塔留下它的标记通过轻视，以城堡房子的形式，然而，渥斯特的候爵建立了值得的替换。
  • That is Chinese above, FYI.
