What is recorded here

Pengersick Castle stands in Breage as a fifteenth-century fortified house built by the Pengersick family. Its thick stone walls and restricted entrances reveal a household that expected danger as much as comfort. The wider building platform suggests kitchens, yards and working rooms around the keep, where ordinary life continued beside defence.

The National Heritage List for England records Pengersick Castle and associated building platform as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Pengersick Castle was built in the late 13th century by the de Pengersick family, a prominent Cornish landowning family. It is remembered as a well-preserved example of a medieval family stronghold and is significant for its historical association with the region's feudal past.
