One of Leicestershire’s most important monuments is in the parish of Kirby Muxloe, and is depicted on the village sign.

Built in the late 15th century by Lord Hastings, who was executed in 1483 before the building was completed, Kirby Muxloe Castle now has a Grade I listing. Standing back from the road and behind a deep wide moat, it is particularly notable for being one of the first castles in England to be constructed from brick rather than stone.
