Shrewsbury Castle built in 1083 by a Norman earl, Roger de Montgomery. The oldest parts of the Castle were built between 1066 and 1074, during the reign of William the Conqueror. There were additions over several centuries. Later, in the late 18th century, Thomas Telford remodelled the interior as a private house. The Castle was acquired by the Corporation of Shrewsbury in 1924 through the generosity of Shropshire Horticultural Society. Since 1985 The Castle houses the spectacular collections of the Shropshire Regimental Museum Trust including pictures, uniforms, medals, weapons and other equipment from the 18th Century to the present day.
Shrewsbury Museums Service displays include a brief history of the castle through the centuries.

The castle is currently owned by Shropshire Council and is currently undergoing some restoration, which is needed as the sandstone building material is soft and quickly erodes

The Castle is a popular venue for licensed civil ceremonies, with the grounds providing a lovely setting for photographs
