Caister Castle and Motor Museum Caister Great Yarmouth Norfolk
The Caister Castle Car Museum is based at Caister Castle is a 15th-century moated castle situated in the parish of West Caister, some 5 km north of the town of Great Yarmouth in the English county of Norfolk. Caister castle had a 100 ft high tower and was built between 1432 and 1446 by Sir John Fastolf, who was an inspiration for William Shakespeare’s Falstaff. Caister Castle was commissioned in 1432 by Sir John Fastolf. The Caister Castle tower remains intact and visitors can climb to the top for a magnificent view of the castle ruins and the amazing surrounding area. The Caister Castle is of historical interest both because it is one of earliest buildings in England of importance to use brick as the main construction material and because of its connections with Fastolf and later the Paston family.
