About

Caister Castle is a 15th-century moated castle situated in the parish of West Caister, some 5 km (3.1 mi) north of the town of Great Yarmouth in the English county of Norfolk.

Built between 1432 and 1446 by Sir John Fastolf, one of the inspirations for Shakespeare's Falstaff. Features a 100ft tower that visitors can still climb. Besieged and captured by the Duke of Norfolk in 1469. The castle fell into ruin after 1600 when a new house was built nearby, but the tower remains intact.
