Belvoir Castle

Belvoir Castle is an early 19th-century Gothic Revival mock castle and stately home in Leicestershire, England, and the seat of the Dukes of Rutland. The present building was rebuilt after an 1816 fire and largely completed by 1832; it sits on a prominent hilltop overlooking the Vale of Belvoir and contains notable state rooms and a ducal mausoleum adjacent to the house.

The shape it held in its prime.

Broad castellated Gothic Revival silhouette dominated by a large cylindrical central tower with a crenellated parapet and paired rectangular towers; numerous rectangular mullioned windows set in warm honey-brown ashlar stone. Pointed-arch entrance porch/gatehouse to the left, crenellated curtain walls and slender pinnacled turrets to the right. Low stone terrace and balustrade step down to formal lawns on a steep hilltop, with prominent tall chimneys and a variety of battlements along the roofline; complete and roofed at its prime.
