Featherstone Castle, Medieval castle in Northumberland, England
The rectangular castle features four corner towers, a central courtyard, stone chimneys, and slate roofs across its Gothic architecture layout at the River South Tyne.
The original 13th-century hall house underwent substantial modifications, including the addition of a three-story tower in 1330 by Thomas de Featherstonehaugh.
The castle grounds contain remnants of Camp 18, which housed 7000 German officers after 1945, commemorated by a memorial plaque erected in 1982.
The property functions as a residential conference and activity center, providing educational programs and experiences for young people and students.
Five ancient wooden coffins from the Early Medieval period were discovered near the castle, containing human remains that turned to dust upon exposure.
