These are beautiful pictures, even though I don't approve the over active ego that makes these castles possible.

Yes the past is in the past as far as buildings go so they are blameless. Properly used castles can bring history back better than reading about history. Money is well spent on the upkeep of castles.

Wouldn't want to live in one but love to own one.

Great clip.

I agree! Our world history is very important, not matter the progenitor. Thanks!
