Nunney Castle is a castle ruin in the county of Somerset, England. Its compact construction, featuring a rectangular layout and four round corner towers, was likely influenced by French fortifications.

History+

The origins of Nunney Castle date back to the 14th century. It represents a form of English quadrangular castle, as it lacks an inner courtyard, unlike many of its contemporaries. Instead, it can be seen as a structure reduced to a central keep for defense and residence. A moat surrounded the castle, while other external defensive works were largely absent.
