Lowther Castle
Lowther Castle is a large early 19th-century country house in Lowther, Cumbria, built as a sham castle for William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale. The building is an embattled, castellated mansion with turrets, a central tower and linked wings set in parkland and formal forecourt gardens; it is now a roofless ruin open to the public and a Grade II* listed building.

As it stood in 1814
The shape it held in its prime.
A nine-bay central block of pinkish sandstone with angle turrets and a larger central tower linked by low wings to angle pavilions, all finished with crenellated parapets. The entrance front features a porte-cochère beneath an arched central opening; windows alternate between pointed Gothic arches and flat-topped Tudor-style frames. In front lies a large enclosed forecourt with a battlemented wall, turrets and a gatehouse, set within sweeping parkland and formal beds.
