Spofforth Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Spofforth with Stockeld, England.
The stone remains include a hall-tower with an undercroft, rock-cut staircases, and a two-story chamber section with a polygonal stair turret.
Henry de Percy established the fortified manor house in 1400, which later suffered destruction during the English Civil War between 1642 and 1646.
The castle represented the power of the Percy family in medieval England until they lost control after supporting the wrong side in the Wars of the Roses.
English Heritage maintains the Grade II* listed structure, making it accessible to visitors who want to explore medieval architectural features.
The eastern wall of the castle incorporates natural rock formations into its foundation, with two staircases carved directly into the stone.
