Framlingham Castle is a castle in the market town of Framlingham in Suffolk in England. An early motte and bailey or ringwork Norman castle was built on the Framlingham site by 1148 but this was destroyed by Henry II of England in the aftermath of the revolt of 1173-4. Its replacement constructed by Roger Bigod the Earl of Norfolk was unusual for the time in having no central keep but instead using a curtain wall with thirteen mural towers to defend the centre of the castle.
