Montfichet's Tower, Medieval wooden castle in Stansted, United Kingdom.
Mountfitchet Castle stands as a wooden Norman Motte and Bailey fortress featuring a central keep, defensive walls, and structures illustrating medieval life.
The castle originated after the Norman Conquest when Robert Gernon constructed it on an ancient site that previously held Iron Age, Roman, and Saxon settlements.
The castle presents medieval craft demonstrations, period furnishings, and traditional activities that demonstrate the daily routines of Norman castle inhabitants.
Located near Stansted Airport, the castle remains open daily until November 2024, with direct access from London through regular train connections.
The castle grounds contain rescued animals including deer, goats, and chickens that roam freely among the reconstructed medieval buildings.
