The ruins of Bramber castle, Sussex, UK. A castle was built on this site in 1070, shortly after the Norman Conquest, by William de Braose, first Lord of Bramber. It was probably a wooden structure replaced over the years by a stone tower and curtain wall. The last male heir of the de Braose family died in 1326, and the castle has been falling down ever since until now very little is left. Its strategic position still commands fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.
