The original Norman Framlingham Castle, built in 1148, was destroyed by Henry II in 1148. The castle you see today was constructed shortly afterwards. From the 13th century, the castle became a luxury home before falling into disrepair at the end of the 16th century.

For 200 years, the castle was owned by Pembroke Collage of the University of Cambridge, before becoming a drill hall and county court. During WWII, the castle was used by the military in case of a potential invasion.
