Brief synthesis. The Tower of London is an internationally famous monument and one of Englandâs most iconic structures. William the Conqueror built the White Tower in 1066 as a demonstration of Norman power, siting it strategically on the River Thames to act as both fortress and gateway to the capital.
The first â and most famous â stone castle was the White Tower of the Tower of London. This stone tower was begun in 1070, and marked the start of a stone-castle building spree. By the time William the Conqueror died in 1087, 86 of these had been built in the UK. Castles made of stone continued to be built (alongside traditional, timber Motte and Bailey castles) throughout the 1100s.
