Wark Castle: The Later Castle

Wark Castle played a prominent role in the violent history of the borders. It suffered damage, and even total destruction, on many occasions. This resulted in frequent programmes of repair and rebuilding throughout the medieval period.

Most of what can be seen today probably dates to major periods of rebuilding in the early 16th century. To see a 360 degree view of the 16th century castle click the 'play' button. The village lay to the east of the castle but hasn't been shown in this scene.
