Upnor Castle is an Elizabethan artillery fort intended to protect Chatham Dockyard and ships of the Royal Navy anchored in the Medway. It was constructed between 1559–67 on the orders of Elizabeth I. Neglected in the 17th century and, when the Dutch raided in 1667, the fort was replaced by stronger defences downriver and became a gunpowder store.
