Castleton Hall is an 18th-century grade II listed country hall on Castle Street in Castleton, Derbyshire.[1]

History

Originally built as a large country hall, the house was later divided into smaller dwellings.[2] The hall features Baroque features on the front.[1]

The hall was historically linked to the Hall family that had been in Castleton since at least 1318.[3] In 1814 Isaac Hall inherited the hall from his father Micah Hall.[2]

The building was purchased by the Youth Hostels Association in 1942 and operated as Castleton Youth Hostel from 1943 until 2012,[4] until the new hostel opened at Losehill Hall.[5]
