Frodsham Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Frodsham, England.

The remains of Frodsham Castle stand on elevated ground at the western end of Frodsham, between Frodsham Marsh and Overton Hill.

Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, constructed the original timber structure around 1070, which later collapsed during the fourteenth century and was rebuilt.

The castle foundations now form part of Castle Park House, reflecting the transformation of military structures into administrative buildings over centuries.

Castle Park House and its surrounding nine-hectare grounds maintain public access, featuring formal gardens, recreational facilities, and walking paths.

The castle witnessed the death of John Savage, Earl Rivers, in 1654, followed by a fire that destroyed the structure while his body awaited burial.
