Everyone post their favorite castles of all time! Preferably, ones that they have personally been to and have been INSIDE as well.

Mine is definitely Sforza Castle in Milan, Italy. It is, quite literally, something out of the Middle Ages, and seems like it's the site of "Game of Thrones" or something. Utterly immense, imposing, & epic in scale.

That really is a good castle. I try to play Chess & it's a pretty simple game in theory but to get to that Kasparov point of skill development takes a LOT of practice & training.

Awesome! Edinburgh Castle is definitely my fav.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-z8mEHCKfMLA/VM_yt50RggI/AAAAAAAAADw/p-nzB8PNXdA/s512-no/Hameenlinna+Suomi+in-Law's+Wedding+.jpg

My in-Law's wedding was held up in Hämeenlinna, a medieval castle built in the Middle Ages. It resembles something from Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales when seen in person.

When I was 12 or 13 my Oma brought me to Germany and we went on a Rhine Cruise on which we got to see some 15-20 different castles, the one that stood out for me the most was Pfalzgrafenstein Castle

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


However we didn't get to enter any of the castles on that particular cruise we did get to tour the grounds of Sanssouci

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Though technically not a Castle we also walked up the 600+ winding steps of the Kölner Dom towers which was one of the more memorable parts of the trip besides seeing the Brandenburg Gate, and the remains of the Berlin Wall.

And now for some Canadian content, Toronto's ancient Casa Loma

Thanks for the blog! Castles are Cool!

Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

These look great! They remind me of the cartoonish castles of DisneyLand in Orlando, Florida. As a teenager I would go there on family trips.

Stafford Castle is beautiful, even though I've never been there. I was big in the Stronghold map making community, so yeah, I like castles.
