Caister Castle, Medieval castle and history museum in West Caister, United Kingdom.
The castle features a prominent 100-foot tower that remains standing while other sections of the medieval structure exist as stone ruins.
Sir John Fastolf commissioned the construction of Caister Castle between 1432 and 1446, creating a fortified residence near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
The Paston Letters document the castle's transfer of ownership and subsequent conflicts through detailed family correspondence from the fifteenth century.
Visitors can climb the remaining tower, explore the castle grounds, and view the motor museum's collection of classic vehicles and carriages.
The castle's inner moat underwent transformation between 1842 and 1893, when workers filled it and created a lake on the grounds.
