Wisbech Castle, Medieval fortification in Wisbech, England.

The current Wisbech Castle, built in 1816, stands on the site of earlier fortifications, featuring a Regency architectural design with Grade II listed status.

The first Norman castle was constructed in 1072 under William I's orders, serving as a strategic point to control the inland port and river traffic.

The castle functions as an educational center and hosts regular community events that connect residents with the local heritage of Cambridgeshire.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds daily, with guided tours available that detail the site's transformation from medieval fortress to modern community space.

The structure underwent multiple complete reconstructions, transforming from a timber fort to a stone castle, then a palace, and finally the current Regency building.
