Bodiam Castle, located in Robertsbridge, United Kingdom, is a quintessential example of a medieval moated fortress. Constructed in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, the castle was built both as a defense against potential French invasion during the Hundred Years' War and as a luxurious residence. Its picturesque structure features a rectangular plan with imposing round towers at each corner and a large central courtyard. The castle is renowned for its well-preserved exterior, complete with a surrounding moat that adds to its fairy-tale appearance. Despite its formidable look, Bodiam Castle was designed more for comfort and status rather than strictly military purposes.
