Harewood Castle

Harewood Castle is a 14th-century rectangular keep and courtyard fortress on the Harewood Estate in West Yorkshire. Laid out as a rectangular tower house with four angle towers, it contains a two-storey main hall, a three-storey accommodation wing and a lower four-storey kitchen wing with a barrel-vaulted basement and well. The castle fell from use in the 17th century and was later stabilised and conserved.

As it stood in 1380

The shape it held in its prime.

A rectangular stone keep set on a steep grassy slope, composed of a main two-storey hall block with an attached three-storey accommodation wing and a lower four-storey kitchen wing; four angle towers anchor the corners and a plain entrance tower with an arched gateway faces the slope. Walls of weathered pale sandstone blocks rise to crenellated parapets; narrow vertical windows punctuate the façades. At its prime the roofs and battlements were complete and the courtyard enclosed.
