The English people's feelings towards the Normans building castles throughout their country were largely negative, as it symbolized the oppression and control exerted by the Norman conquerors following the 1066 invasion. Many viewed these castles as imposing structures meant to subdue and intimidate the local populace, representing the loss of autonomy and the imposition of foreign rule. However, over time, some English people came to accept the castles as part of their landscape and history, recognizing their role in the evolution of English society and architecture.
There were no castles in the British Isles until the arrival of the Normans from France in 1066. They brough with them the knowledge and skills of castle building. The Normans built around 500 castles in England and Wales. About 90 are still standing either intact or as ruins.
