Auckland Castle Deer House is located in the deer park at Auckland Castle in County Durham. The deer house was built to give deer food and shelter, and it also provides visitors with a place to sit and enjoy the views while taking a break from hunting or to enjoy time socially in the park. It was built in 1760 and is a Gothic Revival architecture style.
The deer house is located in the park about a ten or fifteen minute walk from the castle.
Th interior has a row of columns and an open area in the centre, which cannot be accessed but which can be viewed from the house.
The open area below is where the deer would go, but it is blocked off.
The deer house is easy to access and near the bottom of a small hill. The building is managed by English Heritage.
