Built within the Roman fort of Lunium, King Henry I founded the stone enclosure castle, in the early 12th century. Occupied by King David of Scotland in the mid 12th century, it was retaken by Hubert de Burgh in 1199, only to be partly destroyed in the raids by King Robert the Bruce, in 1315 and 1322.

Used as a prison since 1745, the 20th century construction of the Shire Hall and court complex, considerably altered the castle. 3 miles north-east is Castle Hill, Halton.
