This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

From whom? Was it a little gnome peeking out from behind a mushroom?
Quite a few countries, Italy for example, will either sell you a castle for dirt cheap or just give it to you, as long as you promise to restore and maintain it.
Which is, to be clear, an absolute pain in the ass, since those castles have very strict restrictions about how to repair and upgrade them, materials and even companies you’re allowed to use, etc. Not to mention they’re a bitch to heat in the winter.
The cheapest castle I can see from a cursory glance is 1.3 million euros. You must be on that good gnome shit.
Edit: that's an outside area of 732m² and an internal of 184m². It's a literal tower on a tiny plot for 1.3 million dollars. Nothing about that seems remotely close to cheap.
It costs as much as normal house closer to the city. This makes it cheaper than one would expect for a giant historically important castle. If those were built today by modern standards they would cost much more.
