Kitchen Courtyard, Auckland Castle
Auckland Castle, also known as Auckland Palace, is a Grade I listed building (List Entry Number: 1196444 Link
Historic England). The castle occupies an area of flat ground between the River Gaunless and River Wear, south of their confluence. The town of Bishop Auckland abuts the castle to the west. It was the Bishop’s Palace (residence of the bishops of Durham) from approximately 1183 and was their primary residence between 1832 and 2012, when the castle and its contents were sold to the Auckland Castle Trust (now the Auckland Project). It is now a tourist attraction, but still houses the bishop's offices.
