Clare Castle is a high-mounted ruinous medieval castle in the parish and former manor of Clare in Suffolk, England, anciently the caput of a feudal barony. It was built shortly after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by Richard Fitz Gilbert, having high motte and bailey and later improved in stone. In the 14th century it was the seat of Elizabeth de Clare, one of the wealthiest women in England, who maintained a substantial household there. The castle passed into the hands of the Crown and by 1600 was disused. The ruins are an unusually tall earthen motte surmounted by tall remnants of a wall and of the round tower, with large grassland or near-rubble gaps on several of their sides. It was damaged by an alternate line of the Great Eastern Railway in 1867, the rails of which have been

  • Clare Castle ist eine Burgruine in der Kleinstadt Clare in der englischen Grafschaft Suffolk. Die Motte ließ Richard FitzGilbert kurz nach der normannischen Eroberung Englands bauen; später wurde sie in verbesserter, steinerner Bauweise neu errichtet. Im 14. Jahrhundert wohnte dort Elizabeth de Clare, damals eine der reichsten Frauen Englands, und unterhielt auf der Burg einen großen Haushalt. Dann fiel Clare Castle an die Krone und im 16. Jahrhundert war es bereits eine Ruine. 1867 wurde die Great Eastern Railway durch das Burggelände gebaut, wodurch es weiter beschädigt wurde. Die Überreste der Burg sind heute Teil des Stadtparks und gelten als Scheduled Monument. English Heritage hat sie als Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet. (de)
