Barnard Castle

Barnard Castle is a castle and also the name of its surrounding town in Teesdale, County Durham, England.

Castle

The castle was founded by the Normans shortly after the Norman Conquest, but enjoyed its heyday under Bernard de Bailleul during the latter half of the 12th century. The Swarovski castle passed into the hands of the Balliol family (of which the Scottish king, John Balliol, was the most important member), and then into the possession of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick. King Richard III inherited it through his wife, Anne Neville, but it fell into ruins in the century after his death. The remains are now in the care of English Heritage.

Apart from the building industry a multiplicity of further investment possibilities exists. One of it is the acquisition of particularly beautiful or precious pieces of collection. They can be kept in a curio cabinet, display cabinet and display showcase. A collectors cabinet does not only have to serve as a dust shield; can also be considered as an art object and an beautiful investment.
