Weoley Castle, Medieval fortified manor ruins in Birmingham, England
The stone foundations, walls, and corner towers of Weoley Castle form a rectangular structure surrounded by a moat filled with water.
Built around 1270 by the Lords of Dudley, this fortified manor house served as a hunting lodge within a thousand-acre deer park.
Archaeological excavations in the 1930s and 1950s revealed medieval objects that demonstrate the daily activities of the manor's inhabitants.
Visitors can observe the ruins from a designated viewing platform, open daily during daylight hours without an entrance fee.
The stone materials from this 13th-century structure were later used to construct a nearby farm and sections of the Dudley Canal.
