Wisbech Castle

Discover this place

A Regency villa on the site of Wisbech’s former castle, now a community heritage, learning and cultural venue.

The present building is a Regency villa, but the site carries a much longer history, including the medieval castle that gave it its name. That contrast makes Wisbech Castle a useful place to explore the town’s changing role and the layers beneath its familiar streets. Its community and cultural use gives the historic site a present-day purpose. Check the programme for opportunities to visit the building or take part in activities, and combine it with a walk through the surrounding Georgian townscape.
