Torksey Castle, Tudor manor house in Torksey, England.

The riverside structure features four octagonal towers, stone-framed windows, and a three-storey design combining limestone blocks and red brick construction.

Built in the mid-16th century by Sir Robert Jermyn, the manor suffered substantial damage in 1645 when Royalist troops captured it during the English Civil War.

The building incorporates Tudor architectural elements, including zig-zag patterns, rose motifs, and crow-stepped gables that reflect the Renaissance design influence.

The ruins remain closed to visitors, but the structure is visible from the public footpath along the River Trent and from the A156 road.

The manor house stands on the east bank of the River Trent at a location where Vikings established a winter camp in 872 AD.
