    Yeah It looks a bit like this one, Malbork/Marienburg castle in Poland, the old HQ of the Teutonic Knights. Haven't seen it myself yet though.

        Pekka thanks I think I've listened to some Nightwish at a friend's. Ultimate porosis (=good thing) having metal band singers sining opera in castles. Damn you people are good

        Winston, I'll keep an eye out for those thanks

        Gangerolf, mezmerising indeed! It would be nice to also have some information about each castle like a brief history its location on the map of the country in question etc (why aren't you doing this bereta? because i'm lazy of course). but even without those still great pictures

                  Figures with all these castles.. the problem with you people are, well first that you are all foreigners, is that you build castles so high. WHy is that? It's like 'here be sissies living' written all over it. The 'you can't get us out there to fight you, we are afraid!' kind of thing. THat's right, all your 'knights' etc were actually merry band of butt grabbers. That's why you had such high castles too, so no one would interrupt the LOOOOVE making.

                  and before you say anything....
                  pantyhose, wigs.. what's that all about? Don't try to make it sound like it was normal back then. We didn't wear pantyhose and wigs. It was YOU boys..

                    You should have a time limit. For example, some of the visually most impressive castles have been built in 19th century when engineering was pretty advanced. I consider them "fake castles" and as pointless as those being built now. Those of Bavaria's king Ludwing are also impressive but relatively recent. I think the limit should be 1650. Everything built after that is too modern.

                    Sorry if I'm raining on parade.

                      Which is why I posted two examples of Medieval castles. Nah.

                                You might just as well check the castle in Disneyworld then, except that it doesn't pretend to be a real castle.
