Rochester Castle, located in Rochester, United Kingdom, is a stunning example of Norman architecture and one of the best-preserved keeps in England. Built on the orders of Bishop Gundulf of Rochester between 1087 and 1089, the castle played a significant role in England's medieval history. Its imposing stone keep, standing 113 feet tall, was constructed in the early 12th century under the reign of Henry I. The castle has withstood numerous sieges, most notably during the First Barons' War in 1215.
