Astley Castle, Manor house in Astley, England
Located in North Warwickshire, Astley Castle features medieval walls integrated with modern architecture, creating a contemporary residential space within ancient fortifications.
The manor belonged to Elizabeth Woodville before she became Queen of England through her marriage to Edward IV in the fifteenth century.
The building demonstrates the evolution of English architecture from medieval defensive structures to contemporary living spaces through centuries of modifications.
The castle operates as a vacation rental property managed by the Landmark Trust, offering four bedrooms and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
After a devastating fire in 1978, the castle received an innovative restoration in 2012 that earned the prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture.
