Pentillie, English country house in Pillaton, Cornwall, GB

Pentillie Castle stands on the banks of River Tamar, featuring stuccoed stone walls, brick dressings, slate roofs, and polygonal clustered chimneys throughout its structure.

Sir James Tillie commissioned the construction of Pentillie in 1698 after marrying Elizabeth Coryton, the widow of his former employer Sir John Coryton.

The castle underwent substantial modifications in 1810 under the guidance of landscape designer Humphry Repton, who added three new wings to the original structure.

The building operates as an events venue, offering space for weddings and corporate functions, while maintaining scheduled open days for garden visits.

Archaeological excavations in 2013 discovered human remains in the estate mausoleum, potentially belonging to James Tillie, who left specific burial instructions in his will.
