  • Calshot Castle ist eine Burg auf dem Calshot Spit, einer länglichen Sandinsel beim Dorf Calshot in der englischen Grafschaft Hampshire, die König Heinrich VIII. 1539 / 1540 als Artilleriefort bauen ließ. Calshot Castle war eine in einer ganzen Reihe von Forts, die der König an Englands Südküste bauen ließ, um befürchtete Angriffe von Frankreich und dem Heiligen Römischen Reich abzuwehren. Sie schützte Southampton Water an der Stelle, wo es auf den Solent trifft. Die Burg hat einen Donjon in der Mitte, der von einer Kurtine und einem Burggraben umgeben ist. Die Burg war anfangs schwer bewaffnet; sie hatte eine Garnison von 16 Mann und 36 Kanonen. Sie wurde viele Jahre lang genutzt, überlebte den englischen Bürgerkrieg unbeschadet und wurde in den 1770er-Jahren grundlegend modernisiert. Im 1 (de)
