Further restoration work on Highcliffe Castle begins today.
At first the library and the ante-library, where the Kaiser have his famous Telegraph interview, will be closed.
The entire castle will be closed to visitors during the winter.
The work is being undertaken by Greendale Construction of Poole which recently undertook work on Durlston Castle.
The £2.9m project is due for completion in spring 2019 when it is planned to have long lost furniture returned.
The Castle Kitchen cafe will remain open during restoration.
