Welcome to Arundel Castle and Gardens

Our story begins in 1067 and continues to the present day. Many of the original features such as the Norman Keep, medieval Gatehouse and Barbican survive.

Between the 1870s and 1890s the house was almost completely rebuilt and the magnificent architecture in Gothic style is considered to be one of the great works of Victorian England.

Learn from our friendly guides about the finely preserved interior with its fascinating furniture, tapestries and rare collection of paintings by renowned artists including Van Dyck, Gainsborough and Canaletto. Stroll through the tranquil grounds where you will discover inspiring gardens.

Get involved in our historical events, learn about life in the past  and cheer on your champion knight.

Whilst you are here, visit Arundel's historic town centre with its museum, galleries, shops and restaurants which are a short walk from the main entrance.
