Bronsil Castle is a medieval fortified house located near Eastnor in Herefordshire, England. The castle dates from the late 13th or early 14th century and comprises a substantial stone tower or keep, which represents a characteristic form of defensive architecture from the Edwardian period. The site reflects the military and social aspirations of the border gentry during the medieval period, when fortified residences provided both protection and a display of status in the Welsh Marches. Though partially ruined, the surviving stonework demonstrates the construction methods and defensive features typical of modest castles built during this era.
