Crayke Castle, 15th-century defensive castle in North Yorkshire, England.
The castle features a four-story tower house with sandstone walls, narrow windows, and a separate ruined tower called The New Tower.
Constructed around 1450 for Robert Neville, Bishop of Durham, the castle underwent dismantling in 1647 during the Civil War before restoration.
The castle stands on a former Anglo-Saxon monastic site, reflecting the connection between religious and military structures in medieval England.
Located at 379 feet elevation, the castle contains a restored main building with four floors and measures 70 feet by 28 feet.
The kitchen range, dating from 1441 to 1450, remains as one of the oldest surviving parts of the structure.
