England's King John built a castle on the site which was completed in 1230. In 1565 the new Lord Deputy Henry Sidney moved his household into Dublin Castle. By 1570 it was the centre of British rule in Dublin. In 1801, Ireland began to be governed from London instead of Dublin, though Dublin Castle still held an important position in British rule in Dublin. This lasted until 1922, when Dublin Castle was handed over to the Irish.
