Hever Castle (in English: Hever Castle) is a castle in the English village of Hever in Kent (south-east England), built around 1270 by William de Hevere and then enlarged at the beginning of the 16th century by the Boleyn family (Boleyn) and renovated at the beginning of the 20th century at the behest of the American billionaire William Astor, Viscount Astor (1848-1919).
The castle is famous for being the place where he spent his childhood and was perhaps born Anne Boleyn (1507-1536), one of Henry VIII’s wives. It was also, for a certain period, the residence of another wife of the sovereign, Anne of Clèves (1515-1557).
