The Castle Builders


Scattered throughout the world, there are a small handful of castles made by non-architects, constructed without a team of workers, and with very little money.

All the castles presented below were built by a single person, with occasional help from family members or friends. Raised rock by rock from the ground, these castles are the result of unfaltering vision, pure will, and a lifetime effort to make literal the phrase “a man’s home is his castle.”

Curious Expeditions takes you on a tour of 15 such self-built castles. The castle pictured is Chateau Laroche in Loveland, Ohio. Link

that castle is right down the street from my boyfriend's parent's house. it's kinda neat because it's down the crazy hills of loveland and it sits back in the trees a little bit.

I've been to Bishop's Castle. It definitely has the non-professional, home-built look. Very nifty though. Fun like a haunted a house (a lack of railings on some of the spiral staircases and lots of mesh that made the ground so very visible...).
