Dobroyd Castle, Grade II* listed castle in Todmorden, England
Dobroyd Castle stands on elevated ground with four turrets, a four-storey tower, and multiple bay windows designed by architect John Gibson.
John Fielden Junior commissioned the castle in 1866 after promising his future wife Ruth Stansfield that he would construct this grand residence.
The castle features stone tympana with carvings depicting cotton industry scenes, including a representation of Richard Arkwright and manufacturing processes.
The castle contains 66 rooms and functions as an activity center for primary school groups, offering adventure programs within its 17-acre grounds.
Ruth Fielden resided in a separate Swiss chalet below the castle after its completion, marking an unusual living arrangement for the property's original owners.
