How many castles have you been to?
One of the features on the Fodor's landing page is about famous/wonderful/unique castles all over europe.
I've done 13 of them - among a lot of other castles across europe. How about you? Some are very famous and most/many people will have been to them ( Versailles, Neuschwanstein) but some are quite remote/obscure. |
so where do I find this list of castles? I'm sure I've been to most out of thousands I have seen - what list?

Only 14 of the Editor's Picks

Alas, only 5. And 1 more from the outside only.

Of the 25 on Fodor's list:
Castlenaud Beynac Eilean Donan Versailles |
Only six of the picks, but many others.
We favor castles built for fighting, preferably in ruins, over girly dress-up palaces. |

The forward (and back) arrows on that site aren't working for me at all! It's stuck on Karlsteijn.
|
I've been to five on that list. I'm kinda castled-out after my last trip. I think I'll skip castles for a year or so.
|
We've been to 13 of the editors' picks, and many, many others that aren't on the list.

Only 9 of those for me. Countless others not on the list, of course.

Thanks, Christina. That didn't work, either, but I switched to Internet Explorer and it did.
I've been to 12. Obviously I haven't spent much time in the UK. |
What a list!
Mont St Michel is an abbey, not a castle; whatever about the gardens, the chateau at Villandry is nothing out of the ordinary; I find it difficult to see Blarney castle as "awe-inspiring". There also seems to be a difficulty in distinguishing between a palace and a castle. |
Not all are castles - several are palaces and at least one is an Abbey . .
But if the list I've visited 17. |
Versailles is a palace, not a castle. Castles are fortified.
|
Villandry is a great big house
