Barnwell Castle, Medieval castle in Barnwell, England
The stone castle features three cylinder towers at its corners and a twin-towered gatehouse, with walls reaching 30 feet in height.
The castle was constructed in 1132 as a motte and bailey fortress, later transformed into a stone structure during King Henry III's reign.
The Montagu family established their residence at Barnwell Castle, developing it into a center of local governance and military operations.
The castle remains under private ownership, requiring advance arrangements through local tourism offices for permitted visits to the grounds.
The castle walls measure over 12 feet thick, demonstrating medieval engineering techniques used for defensive fortifications in England.
