Harewood Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Harewood, England
The rectangular stone fortress stands on a steep slope with four corner towers and features a two-story main block with a chapel above the entrance.
Sir William de Aldeburgh received permission to fortify the structure in 1366, transforming it into a formidable defensive position overlooking the Yorkshire countryside.
The castle represents the architectural transition from military fortifications to residential structures during the late medieval period in northern England.
The castle ruins remain accessible through guided tours organized by the Harewood Estate, allowing visitors to examine the medieval stone craftsmanship.
A barrel-vaulted basement within the kitchen wing contains an original medieval well that supplied water to the entire castle complex.
