Sandal Castle is a historic fortress located in the town of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. The castle dates back to the 12th century and was originally built as a motte-and-bailey castle by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey. Over the centuries, the castle underwent several modifications and expansions, with the most significant being the construction of a stone keep in the 14th century.
The castle played a significant role in the Wars of the Roses, with the Battle of Wakefield taking place nearby in 1460.
