Windsor: the Norman gateway, which is more correctly called the inner gatehouse. It is not Norman construction but was built during the 14th century. This narrow archway flanked by the two large drum towers was a state prison until the 17th century. King John of France and his son Philip were imprisoned here after capture at Poitiers in 1356 and David II [2nd] of Scotland was there, having been captured in 1346. James I of Scotland was also imprisoned there from 1413-24. The lieutenant-governor of the castle has this gatehouse for his residence nowadays.
