Thurland Castle
Thurland Castle is a former defensive castle and later country house in Lancashire, England, set on a mound and surrounded by a water-filled moat within parkland. The present appearance largely dates from an 1879–1885 rebuilding by Paley and Austin; the stone house and ancillary buildings have since been converted into apartments.

As it stood in 1885
The shape it held in its prime.
Thurland Castle stands on a raised mound encircled by a water-filled moat, reached by an arched stone bridge. Built of sandstone rubble with slate roofs, its plan comprises two principal ranges on the north and west sides of a central courtyard. Two towers punctuate the roofline—one two-storey, one three-storey—with embattled parapets. Windows are mullioned or mullioned-and-transomed, and terraces with masonry bastions step down toward the moat.
