It is a Grade I listed building and was erected as a 12th century manor house and fortified in 1377. Back then it had a stonework enclosure with high curtain walls, towers, a hall and a gateway and was used as a fortress for the bishops of Chichester. It has now been modified and is in use as a hotel.

The castle was founded by Roger de Montgomery on Christmas Day of 1067. Roger became the first to hold the earldom of Arundel by the graces of William the Conqueror. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries.  From the 11th century onward, the castle has served as a hereditary stately home and has been in the family of the Duke of Norfolk for over 800 years. It is still the principal seat of the Norfolk family. It is a Grade I listed building.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2097887760698680917-2418555456615818238?l=luxuryvenues.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luxuryvenues.blogspot.com/feeds/2418555456615818238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://luxuryvenues.blogspot.com/2010/02/arundel-castle.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2097887760698680917/posts/default/2418555456615818238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2097887760698680917/posts/default/2418555456615818238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luxuryvenues.blogspot.com/2010/02/arundel-castle.html' title='Arundel Castle'/><author><name>Tim Chobaratti</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17886920534506109522</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Y9jKDMhQ7G0/S4gVWWipxdI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nKTDTZIHaUs/s72-c/arundelcastle.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097887760698680917.post-9176009136358839503</id><published>2010-02-26T04:50:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-26T04:52:45.379-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='luxury properties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='luxury venues'/><title type='text'>My Favourite Luxury Venues</title><content type='html'>OK, so I decided to write a blog on my favourite luxury venues in the UK.
