There's just something comfy about them: the thick stone walls, the tight corridors winding through them like a maze. Every time I see the ruins of one, I think about all the people who lived there for centuries, sitting by windows that are now just skeletal remains, deep in though or gazing over their lands; walking on wooden floors that have long rotted away. Imagine moving between the floors lit by the flickering candlelight, hearing the creak of timber, the scent of roasted meat drifting from the kitchens, tapestries moving slightly by a draft through the corridors.

>>18587604I'm an American so sadly there are no castles or ruins of castles near me unless you count the one at Disneyland. But I remember even as a small child being interested in them because one of the first video games I ever played was Ocarina of Time where you visit the Castle Town. I remember spending hours on the family PC looking up random photos of old castle towns throughout Europe on our ancient dial up internet imagining how cozy it would be to visit one or live in one
