Castle Drogo is a 20th-century castle near Drewsteignton, Devon. It was built in the 1910s and 1920s for Julius Drewe to designs by architect Edwin Lutyens. It was built to be Drewe's country home, and in a mediæval fancy, he commissioned Lutyens to built him not a standard manor house but a castle. It is in the care of the National Trust.
