Holding a Grade I-listed status, this is fortified manor house dating from the early 1500s, although the site shows evidence of earlier buildings. Although there were extensive alterations and restoration in 1968, much remains of the original building and layout, and the listing on http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-65781-pengersick-castle-breage-#.Vi8wz37hCM8 describes these in detail, including many of the defensive features that survive in the stonework and the interior.
