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.

Been to a fair amount of castles in the past few years, but this is top of my list to visit. No plans to be in the area anytime soon, but I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Same here and what's so special in this case is that the castle has been in the same family for it's entire 800 years of existence. That is really super rare.

I did not know that. That's super special.
