Rose Castle, Medieval country house in Dalston, England
Rose Castle includes four irregular ranges around a central courtyard, with red sandstone blocks forming the structure's distinct architectural elements.
The castle served as the residence for bishops of Carlisle from 1230 until 2009, receiving licenses to crenellate from the King in 1336 and 1355.
The structure contains a chapel dated between 1487 and 1499, which underwent modifications during Bishop Percy's tenure from 1828 to 1831.
The 16,244-square-foot castle stands 4 miles southwest of Carlisle and remains visible from nearby roads despite being closed to public access.
In 2016, the property transformed from an episcopal residence into an international center for peace and reconciliation initiatives.
