>>18421256All true. Most castles were either in ruins by the early xix century or turned into country palaces. They were restored afterwards because of the Romantic movement. And badly. Most castles were full of wood you don't see nowadays.Face it: most of the stereotypes we have of the past and middle ages are just misinterpretations of the Romantic era
>>18421256Britain is an exception to this. It's full of genuinely ancient castles because it was constantly under attack.
>>18421280Hahaha.
>>18421256You're free to go to an actual castle, but...
>>18421256If you see ruins, it's either the Swiss or the French who blew it up.
>>18421386Cromwell razed most of them doe
>>18421256There's still plenty of legit ones around, just do some basic research lol
>>18421386But Great Britain is also the place aristocrats build more cope castle during the romantic era.
