There's many more castles in Ireland than you showed. Orgs like the Office of Public Works would have a list.

#143Ignorant list. If you are including smaller form factor forts/castles from Europe only then you have to include them from India as well. Example “Thikana” etc etc.

#144Is a palace a castle? If so then there are a huge number missing in India.

#145Not sure if they count, but the site appears to be missing loads of British star-forts built around the great lakes, st. lawrence, and eastern Canada! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadel_Hill_(Fort_George) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Island_(Nova_Scotia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadelle_of_Quebec https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Fort_Erie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Anne They built these th…
And Casa Loma is only a castle in the same sense as the one at Disneyworld. These may be textually and superficially similar to historic castles but are completely different. A knowledgable historian would not curate this list. The author should indicate this is just a technical demonstration.

not really castles - it includes palaces for examples and chateaus.
I find the word "castle" can be a little vague, like with Neuschwanstein Castle, which is really more of a palace. I don't think it's worth battling too much about what is or isn't a castle. I don't think you could come up with one set of castles in the world that satisfies everybody.
Neuschwanstein was completed in 1886. Undeniably a very archetypal castle. So much so that of course it was the basis for Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle, which opened at Disneyland in Anaheim in 1955 - at which time the castle it took its inspiration from was not even 70 years old.
Now Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle is itself over 70 years old, making it arguably just as much a historical 'castle' as Neuschwanstein.

Makes things more difficult for foreigners. The French consider this a feature.
Telling that "eau" is just "o" for pronunciation confuse foreigners even more. Some of then even thinks you are mocking them.
Yet somehow French still manages to be altogether more coherent than English… or at least that’s the impression I’ve had so far.
