巴克登宫,也被称为巴克登塔,最初是在13世纪为林肯的主教们建造的,对于他们来说,这里是他们在伦敦和林肯郡之间定期旅行的一个停靠点。 当托马斯-罗瑟汉在1472年成为林肯的主教时,原来的建筑完全被砖砌建筑所取代。 巴克登的大塔是一个真正的塔楼,基于塔特索尔城堡塔,阿拉贡的凯瑟琳与亨利八世离婚后被关押在这里。

巴克登宫由幕墙和护城河保护,在巨大的庭院和外院中,为主教和他们的随从提供了舒适的住宿和设施,包括一个小教堂、一个教堂庭院、一个果园和一个公园。 巴克登宫反映了主教的地位,同时保留了中世纪城堡的防御性,尽管有时很肤浅。

最初的护城河宫殿只剩下大塔(建于1475年)、内门楼和部分垛口墙。 建筑群的其余部分是一个更新的19世纪的房子,现在被用作基督教会议中心。 然而,塔楼的地面经常向游客开放。
