I think I said before, my uncle was a castle custodian. In English we would call Shush castle a "folly". It doesnt preserve anything but destroys actual historic remains. Wiki says "The Castle is similar to medieval monuments in France. " But this is only partly true, it is similar to castles in France built after the Crusaders returned and uses the style and structures learned on those crusades.Well, If it helps to preserve those things, It's OK!

On the positive side theres no need for frosted glass on the bathrooms.A tough job for the window cleaner !
Unfortunately Haarzuilens is a fake castle, build in the 1890'ies. But it looks the part, I must admit.
They were lucky to find an outcrop of land that fitted all those odd shaped houses.
All countries are different. In UK most are the property of the state, but some are in private hands because they always have been or were bought in the past. Bamburgh castle near(ish) to me has always been privately owned and was bought in 1894 by the Armstrong family who still live in part of it.Is it real that some of these old castles / fortresses are for sale in Europe???
