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.
