Thornbury Castle is a Tudor castle in the place of Thornbury, in Gloucestershire, England, situated next to the parish church of St Mary, founded in the Norman era. Construction was begun in 1511 as a further residence for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham (1478-1521), of Stafford Castle in Staffordshire. It is not a true military fortress but rather an early example of a Tudor country house, with minimal defensive attributes. As at Richmond Palace in Surrey, the main ranges of Thornbury framed courts, of which the symmetrical entrance range, with central gatehouse and octagonal corner towers, survives, together with two less regular side ranges with many irregular projecting features and towers. It is now a grade I listed building that is operated as a hotel.

  • Thornbury Castle ist ein Landhaus in Thornbury in der englischen Grafschaft Gloucestershire. Das Haus, das Edward Stafford, 3. Duke of Buckingham, ab 1511 erbauen ließ, sollte nicht als Festung dienen, sondern als frühe Form eines Landhauses in der Tudorzeit. English Heritage hat es als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet. Heute ist die Burg ein Luxushotel und -restaurant mit 26 Zimmern. Dort kann man auch Hochzeiten feiern. Es gibt eine GWR-Castle-Class-4-6-0-Lokomotive namens 7027 Thornbury Castle.
