Although now ruined, Reigate Castle was once an important stronghold in the town. Built around 1150, the castle went on to be captured by the French in 1216 before passing through the hands of various Lords of the Manor of Reigate. The castle was lived in until the 16th century when it began to decay. After being used as a garrison during the Civil War in 1648, it was demolished.

In 1777, a mock medieval gateway was constructed on the ruins, which you can still see today. The Castle grounds are used as a public gardens.

Reigate Castle is a former castle in the town of Reigate in the county of Surrey, England. The castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century, probably by William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. The castle was shaped like a motte-and-bailey castle and was originally built of wood, but the curtain walls were rebuilt in stone about a century later. None of the original castle buildings have been preserved, with the exception of the Barons' Cave, a cave beneath the castle that still exists and is occasionally open to the public. The castle grounds are now a public park and the castle gate is the main feature of the municipal coat of arms of Reigate and Banstead.
