Greystoke Castle, Quadrangular castle in Greystoke, England
The stone structure features fortified walls, residential quarters, and a central pele tower situated within extensive grounds in northern Cumbria.
Following its construction in 1129, the castle underwent several transformations, including major rebuilding phases in 1789 and between 1838 and 1848.
The castle maintains deep connections with English nobility through the Howard family, who acquired the property in 1571 through marriage to the Dacre family.
The castle currently functions as a corporate venue, outdoor management training center, and destination for civil wedding ceremonies in northern England.
During World War II, the castle served as both a training ground for tank drivers and a prisoner of war camp for the British Army.
