Bigod Castle is originally a Norman Castle built by Roget Bigod in about 1100 AD. Prominent in the civil war period, it has been besieged, demolished and restored several times throughout it's history. The massive gatehouse towers remain, along with the bridge pit, curtain walls and inner bailey. Now owned by the Bungay Castle Trust access is through Bigod Kitchen a cafe located next to the castle site, where you can pay a token fee for a key to access the castle. Throughout the year there are a number of art and drama events hosted both inside the castle and outside on the bailey.
