Wressle Castle is a Grade I listed quadrangular castle located in Wressle, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The castle was built c.1380-1390 by Sir Thomas Percy. The castle was garrisoned by Parliament during the English Civil War, and was largely demolished by an act of Parliament in 1650 as a precaution. A fire gutted the remaining south range of the castle in 1796, the only part still inhabited. Today, the form of a moat is visible as earthworks, and ruined buildings still remain; the castle is privately owned, and serves as farm buildings.
