Rougemont Castle, Norman castle in Exeter, England.
The red stone gatehouse stands as the primary remaining structure of the castle, positioned at the highest point within Exeter's city walls.
William the Conqueror ordered the construction of Rougemont Castle in 1068 following Exeter's rebellion, establishing it as a stronghold for Norman control.
The castle features in Shakespeare's Richard III, reflecting its prominence during the king's visit to Exeter in 1483.
The castle grounds now serve as an events venue, offering spaces for weddings, corporate gatherings, and outdoor concerts throughout the year.
Devon's county court operated within the castle walls from 1607, hosting notable trials including the Devon Witches case in 1682.
