castle drogo is a country house and mixed-revivalist castle near drewsteignton, devon, england. constructed between 1911 and 1930, it was the last castle to be built in england. the client was julius drewe, the hugely successful founder of the home and colonial stores. drewe chose the site in the belief that it formed part of the lands of his supposed medieval ancestor, drogo de teigne. the architect he chose to realise his dream was edwin lutyens, then at the height of his career. lutyens lamented drewe's determination to have a castle but nevertheless produced one of his finest buildings. the architectural critic, christopher hussey, described the result: "the ultimate justification of drogo is that it does not pretend to be a castle. it is a castle, as a castle is built, of granite, on a mountain, in the twentieth century".
