Stansted Mountfitchet Castle
Stansted Mountfitchet Castle, Norman ringwork castle in Stansted Mountfitchet, England.
The castle features earthen banks and ditches surrounding a central enclosure, with a bailey complex spread across 1.5 acres of elevated ground.
Following the Norman Conquest in 1066, Robert Gernon established this fortification as his primary residence after arriving from France with William the Conqueror.
The reconstructed medieval village within the castle grounds demonstrates daily Norman life with period-accurate buildings, tools, and traditional livestock breeds.
The castle welcomes visitors daily until November 2024, offering access to reconstructed buildings, an extensive toy museum, and opportunities to feed roaming fallow deer.
This fortification stands as the sole wooden Motte and Bailey castle reconstruction positioned on its original Norman site throughout the world.
