利兹堡位于英格兰肯特郡梅德斯通区以东4英里的伦河河谷中，始建年份已不可考证。1278年，利兹堡的主人利伯恩爵士将城堡赠予当时的英格兰国王爱德华一世，从此成为英王室之物。爱德华一世将此城堡转赠王后埃莉诺，其后的200年期间，分别有另外五位王后居于利兹堡，她们分别是爱德华二世的伊莎贝拉、爱德华三世的菲利帕（Philippa of Hainault）、亨利四世的玛格丽特（Mary de Bohun）、亨利五世的凯瑟琳（Catherine of Valois）及亨利八世的废后凯瑟琳。利兹堡自亨利八世后为私人所有，直到1980年代才正式对外开放。

Leeds Castle is in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. A castle has been on the site since 1119. In the 13th century it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a residence for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The castle today dates mostly from the 19th century and is built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds. It has been open to the public since 1976.
