    The buildings visible today (previous wooden building) were built in the 11th and 12th centuries. Built by Normans and correspond to a typical Norman motte. Over the centuries, their owners enlarged them several times and added residential buildings.
    After Windsor Castle, the Tamworth Motte is the second largest in England and one of the best preserved.
    It is worth mentioning that William Turner painted a painting "Tamworth Castle" of the castle.
