The Castle can be visited

Lulworth Castle, a structure in East Lulworth, Dorset, once served as a hunting lodge and was later transformed into a country house.

History+

Around 1610, Thomas Howard, the 3rd Lord Bindon and son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk, commissioned Lulworth Castle as a hunting residence. The building's use evolved into a country house. In 1641, the estate changed hands when Howard sold it to Humphrey Weld. A chapel on the grounds was commissioned in 1786 by Thomas Weld, father of the future Cardinal Thomas Weld. The French Jesuit and mystic Jean Nicolas Grou died at the castle in 1803.
