There have been three main periods in the construction of Hever Castle.

The oldest part dates to 1270 and consists of the gatehouse and a walled bailey.

The second period was when the castle, then in need of repair, was converted into a manor in 1462.

The third period of repair and renovation was in the 20th century.

How long did it take to build hever castle?

Like most English castles, Hever was constructed in separate phases over many hundreds of years (not all in one long period of construction). It was originally built as a fortified country house (not really a castle) in 1270; in 1462 it was converted into a manor; in the 20th century a programme of repair and reconstruction was undertaken, resulting in the present building.
