Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Baynard's Castle refers to buildings on two neighbouring sites in the City of London, between where Blackfriars station and St Paul's Cathedral now stand. The first was a Norman fortification constructed by Ralph Baynard (fl. 1086), 1st feudal baron of Little Dunmow in Essex, and was demolished by King John in 1213. The second was a medieval palace built a short distance to the south-east and destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. According to Sir Walter Besant, "There was no house in [London] more interesting than this".

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Das Baynard's Castle war eine Festung in London, die im Laufe der Zeit zu einem Palast umgebaut wurde. König Wilhelm I. ließ sie nach der normannischen Invasion im Jahr 1066 errichten, um die Stadt vor Angriffen der Wikinger zu schützen und mögliche Aufstände der Stadtbewohner zu verhindern. Das Gebäude befand sich an der Stadtmauer am Ufer der Themse, nahe der Mündung des River Fleet und des heutigen Bahnhofs Blackfriars.
