Kingsgate Castle, Mock castle in Broadstairs, England
The stone structure stands at the edge of white cliffs overlooking Kingsgate Bay, with tall towers and castellated walls facing the sea.
Henry Fox initiated the construction of this castle in 1760 as a stable block for his nearby residence, Holland House.
The castle transformed from an aristocratic residence to a hotel in the 1920s, reflecting the social changes in British coastal tourism.
The Grade II listed building contains 31 private apartments, requiring preservation standards for any modifications to maintain its historical features.
The name originates from King Charles II's unexpected landing at this location on June 30, 1683, during adverse weather conditions.
