What is Lincoln Castle?
{{no sources|date=April 2018}} [[File:Lincoln Castle view.jpg|thumb|Lincoln castle from Lincoln Cathedral.]] '''Lincoln Castle''' is a major Norman castle in [[Lincoln, England]]. It was constructed during the late 11th century on the site of a pre-existing [[Roman Britain|Roman]] fortress. The castle is unusual in that it has two [[Motte-and-bailey|motte]]s. It is only one of two such castles in the country; the other is at [[Lewes Castle|Lewes]] in [[Sussex]]. Lincoln Castle remained in use as a [[prison]] and [[law court]] into modern times, and is one of the better preserved castles in England; the Crown Courts continue to this day. It is open to the public most days of the week, and possible to walk around the walls from which there are views of the castle complex, [[Lincoln Cathedral|cathedral]], the city, and surrounding countryside.
