Berkeley Castle

Posted by
Elaine Hancock (Olney, United States) on 27 December 2024 in Architecture.

It took 100 German masons six years to build the Berkeley Castle which was completed in 1855. The castle was constructed of local silica sandstone which was transported to the site by horse and wagon.
