The original castle on this site was destroyed in the 16th century. The two buildings at the front (of which the east wing can be seen here) are all that remains of the replacement structure built in 1720 and largely destroyed by fire in 1858. For part of the twentieth century, the building was occupied by the Admiralty. It was converted into prestigious apartments in the 1990s.
