Maxstoke Castle, Medieval quadrangular castle in Maxstoke, England.
The castle features four octagonal towers at each corner, a fortified gatehouse on the east side, and a residential section on the west, enclosed by a broad moat.
Sir William de Clinton, first Earl of Huntingdon, constructed Maxstoke Castle in 1345, establishing a strategic fortified residence in medieval Warwickshire.
The castle preserves artifacts including a coronation chair of Henry VII from 1485 and a table connected to the 1605 Gunpowder Plot discussions.
The Fetherston-Dilke family offers guided tours by appointment throughout the year and organizes an annual open day in June for charitable causes.
The castle remains one of England's oldest continuously inhabited private residences, maintaining its original structure through centuries of occupation and conflicts.
