Caister Castle
Caister Castle is a 15th-century moated castle in West Caister, Norfolk, built by Sir John Fastolf between 1432 and 1446. The 100 ft high brick tower survives intact while much of the surrounding domestic ranges and curtain walls fell into ruin after 1600; the tower remained climbable and was a prominent local landmark.

As it stood in 1446
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall, cylindrical 100-foot brick tower with crenellated parapet dominates the silhouette, flanked by lower red-brown brick curtain walls and domestic ranges forming a roughly rectangular courtyard. The masonry is coursed medieval brick with small square windows and occasional narrow arrow slits; the tower has small projecting corner tourelles at the summit. The castle sits within a full surrounding moat on low Norfolk marshland, approached across open meadow and enclosed by trees, with roofed domestic ranges abutting the inner walls.
