Auckland Castle has been awarded £9m from the Heritage Lottery Fund to build a museum extension.
The two-storey extension will house 11 galleries that will explore the history of faith in Britain.
State rooms at the historic home of the Bishop of Durham will also be renovated.
Auckland Castle Trust said the project will create up to 130 jobs.
The castle work is part of a major regeneration project for Bishop Auckland town centre.

Halloween is upon us, and while we’re all in the spirit of ghosts and ghouls, you might be considering buying or selling a property with a bit of a spooky reputation. Maybe that charming Victorian home with a south-facing garden, high ceilings, period features, and perfect attic conversion potential has more to it than meets the eye.
Buying or selling a property is an exciting journey, but the jargon along the way can be confusing. One common phrase you might come across is “offers in excess of” (OIEO). What does this actually mean, and how does it affect your buying or selling strategy?
Taking the step to buy a house with a partner is exciting and marks a significant milestone in your relationship. Whether you’re pooling your finances to get on the property ladder or planning for a long-term home together, it’s important to make sure that everything is set up correctly—both legally and financially—to avoid complications down the line.
