Wolvesey Castle is the remains of a fortified palace, home of the Bishops of Winchester for over a thousand years. The Bishop of Winchester still lives on the site of the former medieval West Wing and Chapel, in an area that is not open to the public, yet most of the medieval palace's remains are now in the care of English Heritage. Wolvesey Castle is located in a particularly pleasant area of Winchester . Its main entrance is on College Street, the same street as the house in which Jane Austen died [Jane Austen is buried in Winchester Cathedral next door. ] .
