A place to share cool castles!
Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:
- Castle name in native language (English name) - location [include country and region, if not city/town]
- Best website (official or otherwise)
- Some sort of map link
- Visitation details: open/closed to public, closed but technically reachable, tours?, etc.
- History: Whatever can be briefly copy-pasted
More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.

I don’t live too far from here. It has a moat, and a trebuchet. Worth a visit .
Can't forget the oubliette. Pretty sure it gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
Haha, can't forget the oubliette. I get it!
The name oubliette implies larger, scarier, oobly.
Wow, absolutely gorgeous. According to my father and his cabal of genealogy enthusiasts, allegedly this place used to be a holding of some distant ancestors of mine. I always used to get a kick out of looking at the family tree, where one guy would have a title, something like "Lord of Warwick Castle" (I can't remember it exactly), then only to look a generation later and see a note by the next guy, saying "Re-Took Warwick Castle."
Used to go here frequently when I was a kid. Interesting place, used to be one of my favorite things to do at the time.
