Leeds Castle was already in the Domesday Book King William the Conqueror, the English Reichsgrundbuch, mention. It has been used gradually over the centuries as a Norman fortress, the residence of six medieval queens, as the palace of Henry VIII and as a sanctuary for the rich and powerful. In the more than 1000 years of its existence, the castle has survived many battles, housed powerful statesmen and inspired numerous artists. Today, it is led by the Leeds Castle Foundation and is the destination of many thousands of people seeking relaxation each year.
