Baynard’s Castle refers to buildings on two neighbouring sites in London between where Blackfriars station and St Paul’s Cathedral now stand. The first was a Norman fortification constructed by Ralph Baynard and demolished by King John in 1213. The second was a medieval palace built a short distance to the southeast and destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
