Bolsover Castle is a famous and unusual castle in Derbyshire, a county in England’s East Midlands. Although the current building was constructed during the 17th century, the history of Bolsover Castle stretches back to the 11th century. Whilst the original castle primarily served a defensive purpose, the 17th century one was constructed as a luxurious residence. The ownership of Bolsover Castle changed hands numerous times over the course of its history and was finally given to the nation in 1945. Today, Bolsover Castle is under the care of the English Heritage charity and is open to the public.
