Fans of deconstructivist architecture will surely enjoy this property. The bold rock formations of Pyke Castle meld in a spectacular manner with the corpus of the eponymous Iron Island. Anyone investing in the pentamerous fortress is making a mark.

Over thousands of years the sea has split the island from the mainland as well as the island itself. Three large towers reach up from each one of the three remaining main islets: Great Keep, Kitchen Keep and Blood Keep. Sea Tower rises from the outermost islet, which is completely detached from the island, and on the other side the gatehouse is separated from the Great Keep by a massive stone bridge. Blood Keep derives its name from a murder that took place in the tower thousands of years ago. The headland – about 50 acres – is enclosed by a curtain wall. Stables, kennels and livestock are located on the headland, thus the owner of this stronghold is well prepared in times of need.
