Deal Castle stands as an artillery fortress commissioned by Henry VIII in the town of Deal, Kent, built between the years 1539 and 1540. Its creation was integral to the King's Device program, designed to fortify England against potential invasions from France and the Holy Roman Empire. The castle played a crucial role in safeguarding the strategically significant Downs anchorage along the English coast.
