Maxstoke Castle is a fortified manor house located in Warwickshire, England, founded in the 14th century as a stronghold of the de Alditheley family. The castle comprises a quadrangular plan with corner towers and curtain walls, characteristic of military architecture from the medieval period, and retains substantial portions of its original stonework and defensive features. Constructed initially around 1345, the site represents an important example of the transition from purely military castles to fortified domestic residences during the later medieval era. The castle remains largely intact as a private residence, preserving significant historical fabric from its medieval foundation and subsequent periods of occupation and modification.
