Warblington Castle is a Tudor gatehouse and fortified residence located near Emsworth in Hampshire. Built in the early sixteenth century, the structure retains a distinctive twin-towered gatehouse characteristic of early Tudor military architecture, though it functioned primarily as a residential stronghold rather than a major fortress. The castle occupies a strategic position overlooking Chichester Harbour, and its construction reflects the defensive concerns and architectural fashions of the Tudor period. The gatehouse remains the most substantially preserved element of the original castle complex, which has otherwise largely disappeared, making it an important surviving example of early Tudor fortified domestic architecture on the south coast.
