Letter C Favorite Castle photos



Fenis Castle is located in the town of Fénis, not far from Aosta. Is in Italy.
















Bunratty Castle, North Munster, is sited on an original Viking Trading Camp which dates back to around 970 AD












At first, Neuschwanstein castle was planned to be a small but ornate castle in a high Gothic style, with delicate turrets topped with high-pointed roofs and a huge tower


Germany (Bavaria) My favorite with many others I am sure.




























In 1567, Mary Queen of Scots and her third husband, the Earl of Bothwell, sought refuge in Borthwick

Castle is in Scotland.









Chepstow Castle was begun in 1067, a year after the Battle of Hastings upon a limestone ridge overlooking the river Wye. It is a Welsh Castle.

Castles plain and simple. I know they were nasty and clammy cold to live in(If you do not count modernized ones used today and made up to date.) They just fascinate me. There were a couple near to where I lived in WA state, which are not like the castles in Europe, but pretty cool. We used to have this building my kid's and I termed "The cast" from way down on the highway it looked like one, but was actually just and ole stone building that was used for some business way back. Pretty trashy and did not look like a castle when you drove up there.
I need to look into the area I am in now to see if there are any called castles in the immediate area. We do have a large stone house about 10 miles away being sold for $1 million. (Way to much I think for this area.) It is supposedly haunted also and though I do not believe in that but would ascribe to Devil activity. I do find that stuff fun. Am going to add a picture or two of castles from WA. state and next time add more photos of castles from the old country.
