About Bishop Auckland
- Auckland Castle has been the home of the Prince Bishops of Durham since the twelfth century. The Prince Bishops were among the most powerful figures in medieval England, holding quasi-royal authority over County Durham as a palatinate — they had their own courts, their own army, and the right to collect taxes. The Auckland Project, a major regeneration initiative launched in 2012, has transformed the castle and its grounds into a major visitor attraction, including a new Faith Museum and the restoration of the castle's historic interiors. The Zurbaran paintings in the castle's Long Dining Room, depicting Jacob and his twelve sons, are among the most important Spanish Baroque paintings in Britain.
