Chipchase Castle, Medieval castle and Jacobean mansion in Chollerton, England.
The stone structure combines a four-story 14th-century fortified tower with a grand 17th-century mansion featuring classical architectural elements and formal gardens.
Walter Heron constructed the original tower house in the mid-14th century, while Cuthbert Heron added the Jacobean mansion portion in 1621.
The castle represents the evolution of English noble residences from defensive strongholds to refined country estates through its combined architectural styles.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds throughout the year, while interior tours are exclusively available during the month of June.
The property maintains its dual purpose as both a historical monument and private residence, currently owned by the family of author Paul Torday.
