This castle has played an important part of history throughout the years. Some suggested that the earthworks of thi castle don’t seem to fit in well with its design. Dover Castle seems to have been converted to a castle from originally being some kind of church. During Henry II’s reign, Dover Castle began taking its now, well known shape. A man by the name of Maurice the Engineer built the keep. In today’s world, the castle and all its secret tunnels are popular tourists attractions.
