一座完整的、有人居住的诺曼底城堡。 班堡位于高高的玄武岩峭壁之上,俯瞰广阔的沙地和荒凉的北海,其雄伟的位置使其成为许多关于城堡的书籍中的明星景点之一。 在中世纪的文本中,它被认定为亚瑟传统中兰斯洛特的Joyeus Garde城堡。 作为强大的诺森比亚王国的古都,已经有一些有人认为,这个位于Whin Sill山顶上的自然防御场所的占用可以追溯到几千年前,而且在罗马时代,它曾被用作烽火台的位置。

有关该城堡的第一份书面资料可以追溯到公元547年,当时它被伯尼西亚的盎格鲁-撒克逊统治者伊达攻占。 此时,防御工事是用木头制成的。 该地的早期名称Din Guyardi比伊达还要早。 班堡后来是诺森比亚国王的所在地,可能是从伊达的孙子国王的第二个妻子贝贝那里得到后来的名字--Bebbanburgh。Aethelfrith of Bernicia (593-617). 诺森比亚国王Oswald是Aethelfrith和他的第一任妻子Acha的儿子,他是邀请圣人Aidan到附近传教的统治者,因此将基督教带入王国。 Oswald将土地授予Aidan,在附近的Lindisfarne创建宗教基金会。 在他战死后,Oswald成为诺森比亚的守护神,其崇拜延伸至在该地区之外。

8世纪时,基督教在英格兰东北部已经根深蒂固,但王权却越来越弱。 793年6月8日,对诺森比亚来说是个致命的日子,维京人袭击了林迪斯法恩修道院。 维京人对富裕目标的袭击仍在继续,权力的平衡发生了变化,岛上其他地方的王国开始占据主导。

1095年,班堡巨大的诺曼人堡垒建成,班堡历史的下一个阶段开始了。 班堡是苏格兰贵族成员的临时住所,有时也是监狱。 在玫瑰战争期间,班堡是兰开斯特家族的一个据点,受到了猛烈的攻击。 到16世纪初,班堡已经破败不堪,落入私人手中,那些当地的福斯特家族它后来成为一所医院和一所学校,然后被当地富有的实业家阿姆斯特朗勋爵买下,他开始了修复工作,但在完成之前就去世了。
