Peckforton Castle
Peckforton Castle is a 19th-century Victorian country house built in the form of a medieval castle in Cheshire, England. Designed by Anthony Salvin for John Tollemache, the building is faced in red sandstone, arranged around a ward with towers, a gatehouse and a dry moat, and includes a private chapel and service ranges; it is now a listed building used as a hotel and events venue.
