Belvoir Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Leicestershire, England.

The castle stands on a hilltop with four corner towers and a central structure resembling Windsor Castle, overlooking the Vale of Belvoir.

The first Norman fortification was built in 1067, with the current building representing the fifth structure on this site after multiple reconstructions.

The castle displays notable art collections, including paintings by Thomas Gainsborough and a full-length portrait of Henry VIII attributed to Hans Holbein.

The property maintains regular opening hours for tours of state rooms, gardens, and the Root House, with special rates for group visits.

The castle grounds contain natural springs formed by glacial moraines, creating an amphitheater setting in the surrounding landscape.
