It was founded in the aftermath of the Norman conquest of England when William the Conqueror (1066â1087) ordered its construction because he wished to have a fortified place in the important city of Norwich. It proved to be his only castle in East Anglia. It is one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites. The castle now houses the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, which holds significant objects from the region, especially archaeological finds.
This Victorian style, red sandstone building was built in 1855 and designed by architect James Renwick, Jr. It was originally the home of the first Secretary of the Smithsonian, Joseph Henry, and his family and is the oldest building on the National Mall.
