A fortified structure was first built on the castle site immediately after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

However, the site has been rebuilt multiple times throughout history, and the Gothic Revival style mock castle we know today was completed in the early 19th century. 

Belvoir Castle is today owned by David Manners, the 11th Duke of Rutland.

Several films and television series have been filmed at Belvoir Castle. Some of these include Little Lord Fauntleroy (1980), Young Sherlock Holmes (1985), The Da Vinci Code (2006), The Young Victoria (2007) and episodes from the first three series of The Crown (2016-2019).

Belvoir Castle is actually pronounced as "Bee-Ver", pronounced like the animal!

The name "Belvoir" means "beautiful view" in Norman French, but over time, the Anglicised use of the name became more common, so the pronunciation of "Beaver Castle" persists today, yet the spelling remains the same.
