鉴于其在英国与苏格兰边境的战略位置,卡莱尔城堡保持着不列颠群岛被围困最多的记录也就不足为奇了。 卡莱尔作为一个主要的行政和军事中心的作用始于近2000年前,当时它成为罗马的Luguvalium。 卡莱尔最早的堡垒是用木头和木材建成的,现在的城堡就建在这里。在中世纪早期,卡莱尔作为北部边疆的一个要塞的作用仍在继续,当时它是瑞吉王国的一部分。 各种各样的故事都将亚瑟王与卡莱尔联系在一起;据说他在这里举行了宫廷活动。 当诺森比亚王国成为北方的一个强国时,卡莱尔也成为一个重要的宗教中心。

诺曼城堡是在征服者的儿子英格兰的威廉二世统治时期开始的,当时坎伯兰被认为是苏格兰的一部分。 在赶走苏格兰人后,威廉二世声称该地区属于英格兰,并于1093年在早期罗马堡垒的遗址上建造了一座木制的诺曼城堡。 1122年,亨利一世下令建造一座石头堡垒;该城市卡莱尔随后的历史反映了英国和苏格兰关系的动荡,卡莱尔和她的城堡在接下来的700年里多次易手。 这座城市也是两国君主的胜利和悲剧的发生地。 苏格兰的大卫一世在亨利一世死后再次为苏格兰人夺取了卡莱尔。城堡在亨利二世(1154-1189)时期重新回到英国人手中,他任命坎伯兰郡长Robert de Vaux为总督。 城堡的总督,以及后来的看守,在维护英国-苏格兰边境的秩序方面发挥了重要作用。

当卡莱尔在1296年第一次苏格兰战役中成为爱德华一世的总部时,该城堡得到了进一步的发展。 在随后的三个世纪中,卡莱尔被围困了七次,包括班诺克本之后被罗伯特-布鲁斯长时间围困。 最终,该城堡牢牢地掌握在英国人手中,成为西征的守护者的总部。 进一步的大规模城市防御措施是在亨利八世统治时期,他的工程师Stefan von Haschenperg也设计了典型的亨利克城堡。 苏格兰女王玛丽在1567年被囚禁在典狱长塔中。 在16世纪末,臭名昭著的边境叛徒Kinmont Willie Armstrong被大胆地从卡莱尔城堡救出,当时也是一座监狱。 即使在1603年王室合并后,卡莱尔城堡仍然这座城堡保留了它的军事传统,在内战期间为国王保管,直到在议会的围攻下,占领者被迫投降。 1745年,这座城堡还被雅各布派部队占领并持有。 今天,这座强大的北方堡垒的军事传统通过坎布里亚的军事生活博物馆得以延续。
