The Castle's by pictor

Corfe Castle - United Kingdom The first stone of Corfe Castle was laid more than 1,000 years ago. Since then it's seen it's fair share of battles, mysteries and plots. It's been a treasury, military garrison, royal residence and family home. The keep was built in the 12th century for King Henry I, William the Conqueror's son. After six centuries of keeping enemies at bay, an Act of Parliament was passed at Wareham to destroy the castle. Deep holes were dug and packed with gunpowder to bring the towers and ramparts down resulting in the gaps and angles seen today.
