Description
Berwick Castle consists of fragments including towers, walls, and steps. A fortress was established on this site in the 12th century, but it was frequently besieged, attacked, and altered over the years. In the early 17th century, construction began on a large town house at the location, but after 1611, the castle fell into decline. Much of the stonework was taken for the construction of Holy Trinity Church, and later, the majority of the remaining structures were removed for the railway station built on the site. The west curtain wall still stands in part, featuring steep steps down to the river, dating from the late 13th century, along with fragments of 16th-century towers.
