Archbishop's Palace is a medieval episcopal residence located in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, associated with the archbishops of York. The palace complex dates primarily to the fourteenth century, though it may incorporate earlier structural elements, and represents an important example of high medieval aristocratic domestic architecture. The surviving buildings include substantial stone structures characteristic of the period, arranged around courtyards typical of such palatial establishments. As one of the archbishop's principal residences outside York, it reflects the considerable wealth and landholdings of the archbishops of York in the East Midlands during the medieval period.
