Lewes Castle stands on a tall mound of chalk blocks and towers above the town of Lewes like a patient guardian. The castle was built in the 11th century, and since 1850 has been used by the Sussex Archeological Society.
The Barbican House that adjoins Lewes Castle is the home of the Museum of Sussex Archeology, and admission to Lewes Castle will also allow guests to visit this museum. Inside, patrons will find collections of artifacts dating back to the Stone Age and a short film that will tell the history of Lewes throughout the centuries.
