- Wisbech Castle (auch Castle Wisbech) ist ein Schloss in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. (de)
- Wisbech Castle was a stone to motte-and-bailey castle built to fortify Wisbech (historically in the Isle of Ely and now also in the Fenland District of Cambridgeshire, England) on the orders of William I in 1072, it probably replaced an earlier timber and turf complex. The layout was probably oval in shape and size, on the line still marked by the Circus. The original design and layout is unknown.It was rebuilt in stone in 1087.The castle was reputedly destroyed in a flood in 1236.In the 15th century, repairs were becoming too much for the ageing structure, and a new building was started in 1478 under John Morton, Bishop of Ely (later Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancellor of England). His successor, John Alcock, extended and completed the re-building and died in the Castle in 1500. Subsequent bishops also spent considerable sums on this new palace. The Bishop's Palace was built of brick with dressings of Ketton Stone, but its exact location is unknown. In later Tudor times, the rebuilt castle became a notorious prison. The site was again redeveloped in the mid-17th century and yet again in 1816 by Joseph Medworth. A 1794 plan of the 'castle' exists; this only shows the 'castle' as it existed at the end of the 18th century, prior to the development of the site to its current form. The Regency building known as 'The Castle' was given Grade II* listed status on 31 October 1983 following the vaults Grade II listed in 1969. It now stands in the middle of a circus (en)
- Wisbech Castle var ett slott i Wisbech, Cambridgeshire i östra England. Slottet byggdes av Vilhelm Erövraren för att förstärka Wisbech 1072. Detta slott förstördes dock av en översvämning 1236 och hur denna byggnad tidigare såg ut är okänt. Reparationer av slottet påbörjades under 1400-talet, men när det blev uppenbart att dessa reparationer var för kostsamma bestämdes det att byggas en helt ny byggnad istället. Byggnationerna påbörjades 1478 under övervakning av John Morton, biskop av Ely, men det var hans efterträdare John Alcock som färdigställde slottet. Biskop John avled senare i slottet år 1500. Mot slutet av Tudoreran byggdes slottet om till att bli ett ökänt fängelse, i vilket många katoliker satt fängslade under årens gång (katolicismen var nämligen inte en uppskattad religionstro i England vid tillfället). Slottet slutade användas som fängelse under 1627 och byggdes senare om av Joseph Medworth under 1816. I dagsläget ägs byggnaden av Cambridgeshire County Council som använder den som ett så kallat Professional Development Centre, vilket innebär att det går att boka möten och andra privata tillställningar där.
