Been to Mont St. Michel. Breathtaking. Also not a castle, but a commune situated around a monastery. Beautiful none the less.

Enjoyed Himeji castle over Matsumoto, besides, a white castle sounds pretty awesome. So, why no Himeji?

I went to school at #1. Queen's University owns it and uses it as an international school. It's beautiful and they have preserved it well.

Dude I got to Queen's right now!

Cha gheill! You should look into their third year semester option, it's cool. Unless you're in engineering or something, then no classes.

#1 & #11 are super close to me. Feed the carp in the moat at Bodiam, they'll take food right out of your hand. And maybe your fingers too.

I performed in a play at #11, was so much fun

Chambord in France. There's a spiral staircase that ends in a door to nothing so enemies fall to their death.

It would be so awesome if there was a sign by the door that read, "la chambre du Roi."

So they just charge up the stair all excited for battle, bust through the door, can't see because maybe it's night time... fucking brutal.

Is that not St Vitas?

Pretty sure it is st vitus in the castle

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Nope. I went there last year and St Vitas does not sound familiar to me, whereas St. Wenceslas does.

A quick Google reveals that we are both right, and yet wrong as we left out the 3rd lad it is also dedicated to. Still not a castle though.

Being in the midwest of North America, I tend to take what I can get castlewise.
