Hereford Castle was a medieval fortress located in Hereford, England. Built in the 11th century, it served as a defensive stronghold and a residence for the local nobility. The castle was constructed using local materials, primarily sandstone, and featured a motte-and-bailey design, which included a raised earthwork mound and a wooden palisade. Over the centuries, the castle underwent various modifications and expansions. However, by the 17th century, it fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished. Today, only remnants of the castle remain, but its historical significance continues to be recognized in the Hereford area.
