Leybourne Castle, Medieval castle in Leybourne, England
The twin-towered gatehouse of Leybourne Castle stands with two semicircular bastions incorporated into a Tudor farmhouse structure from the thirteenth century.
Roger de Leybourne established connections with this defensive structure in 1275, marking the beginning of its role in regional medieval architecture.
The Grade II* listed designation of Leybourne Castle reflects its high architectural importance within England's national heritage preservation system.
Located west of Castle Way in Kent, this privately owned property requires advance arrangements for access due to its residential status.
The circular earthworks remaining from the original castle structure provide evidence of medieval defensive engineering techniques in southeastern England.
