Montfichet's Tower (also known as Montfichet's Castle and/or spelt Mountfitchet's or Mountfiquit's) was a Norman fortress on Ludgate Hill in London, between where St Paul's Cathedral and City Thameslink railway station now stand. First documented in the 1130s, it was probably built in the late 11th century. The defences were strengthened during the revolt of 1173–1174 against Henry II.

dbo:abstract
  • Das Montfitchet Castle war eine Festung in London. König Wilhelm I. ließ sie nach der normannischen Invasion im Jahr 1066 errichten, um die Stadt vor Angriffen der Wikinger zu schützen und mögliche Aufstände der angelsächsischen Stadtbewohner zu verhindern. Das Gebäude befand sich am westlichen Stadtrand nahe dem Baynard’s Castle und ging in den Besitz von Gilbert de Monfichet aus Rouen über, einem Verwandten des Königs, der sich in der Schlacht bei Hastings bewährt hatte. Auf Befehl von König Johann Ohneland wurde das Gebäude 1213 zerstört. Die Materialien wurden 1276 beim Bau des Blackfriars-Klosters wiederverwendet. (de)

First documented in the 1130s, it was probably built in the late 11th century. The defences were strengthened during the revolt of 1173–1174 against Henry II. It was demolished in 1213 by King John and the site sold in 1275 to build the great Dominican priory of Blackfriars. Archaeological excavations in 1986–90 uncovered waste pits and the remains of ditches between Carter Lane and Ludgate Hill. (en)
  • La fortezza nota come Montfichet's Castle nella City of London venne costruita nel 1070 a nord-ovest di Baynard's Castle da Gilbert de Monfichet, nativo di Rouen e parente di Guglielmo il Conquistatore. Egli combatté coraggiosamente alla Battaglia di Hastings. Questa torre venne demolita da Giovanni d'Inghilterra nel 1213, dopo aver esiliato Richard, successore di Gilbert, l'attuale proprietario. Le macerie vennero poi utilizzate per la costruzione, nel 1276, del monastero di Blackfriars. L'ubicazione del Monfichet's Castle corrispondeva, più o meno, all'attuale stazione situata su Ludgate Hill. (it)
