Powderham Castle, Medieval castle in Exminster, Devon, Great Britain
The fortified manor house stands on the banks of the River Exe, featuring a grand marble hall and extensive gardens spread across the estate.
Sir Philip Courtenay initiated the construction of Powderham Castle between 1391 and 1406, establishing it as a strategic location during the Wars of the Roses.
The castle maintains a library established in 1717 by William Chapple, reflecting centuries of scholarly dedication through its collection of historical manuscripts and books.
Visitors can access the castle grounds, gardens, and themed events throughout the year, with special activities organized during Christmas and summer seasons.
The castle withstood a notable siege in 1455 and currently serves as a venue for large-scale concerts, hosting performances by international recording artists.
