I think i had touched on that question in this thread. However i am not too sure if i did do so...
Orthanc was built by Gondorians (possibly of the Dúnedain) before the end of the Second Age? (i'm not too sure about the date). The interesting aspect regarding Orthanc, is the fact that Beren (Steward of Gondor) gave Saruman the key to Orthanc. Just thought i'd include that little fact [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If you are looking for answers to questions of this nature, try looking at the forum's Search function, for more threads along these lines. Or maybe try and visit the Internet's most comprehensive Tolkien Encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Of Arda.
