Do palaces count?
This one from my hometown.
>Château Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River north of Loveland, Ohio, United States. A folly of a historical European castle, construction began in the 1920s by Boy Scout troop leader, World War I veteran, and medievalist Harry D. Andrews. He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Andrews named his castle after a military hospital in the Chateau La Roche in southwest France where he was stationed during the First World War.
>For over fifty years, Andrews worked on his castle project. He pulled stones from the nearby Little Miami River, and when that supply was exhausted, molded bricks with cement and quart milk cartons.
looks way better than White Castle

Nice, thank you.
Amazing what people can do when they really want it.
England was relatively much safer than the continent for most of its history. The Old English nobility never really embraced huge fortresses to the same degree, they weren't necessary given England's isolation, so basically all the old castles we have were built by Norman and French lords terrified of English rebellions
Once the fortress of the famous family Van Arkel, but now owned by the Dutch state, because the family got expropriated after Jan (my ancestor) rebelled against the counts of Holland and got locked up in The Hague.
I envy you for having a centuries old country with a continuing monarchy located on an aesthetic island. It's almost the perfect country.
WTF. Looks like someone built a nice little chateau and someone else decided to build a giant butt-ugly factory/church that dwarfs it
It's jarring.
Always had a fondness for Carcassonne.
We don't have real castles exactly but we do have some things like la citadelle de Québec. A walled fortification, construction started in the 1680s.
This castle predates the Second Punic War

If the "castle" didn't serve as a fortress during at least 1 battle then it's not an actual castle, it's a cringy house.
Nicknamed the "bitch of the north" Kalmar Castle has stood through 22 sieges, several attacks from both ground and sea.
From medieval warfare to later years. Her final years as an active defense position was her golden years. In the 1600's she had 300 cannons in all directions, a nearly 30 meter high wall and hundreds of choke points where arrows, boiling oil and rocks could be thrown at any enemy.
>Boiling oil
Danish pigs literally getting fried on the battlefield.
Kek, bacon time
I hope one day I will have opportunity to blow up every remaining castle and build brutalist buildings on it's remains
Why isn’t the Mexican one a castle?
A monarch lived in it and it saw combat.
PLEASE get me out of here
Maybe he thinks that a castle must have medieval looking.
Look at this dood

Remains of the Fortaleza de la Concepcion, which was partially destroyed as the city of Santo Domingo expanded.
