Oakham Castle, originally a Norman fortress, was founded in the late 11th century and has undergone numerous transformations throughout the centuries. It has served various purposes, including a royal palace, a prison, and even a courthouse. The castle's most notable feature is the unique "Round Tower," which is believed to be the oldest surviving part of the castle. The castle's setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the serene waters of the nearby Rutland Water, adds to its allure.
