Category:Castles

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Castles.

This category also includes buildings which never had a military purpose, but are styled as castles on romantic or stylistic grounds. Most such buildings date from the late 18th to early 20th centuries, and were a manifestation of the Gothic revival in architecture, which was in turn part of the Romantic movement in Western culture. They are sometimes referred to as "revival castles" or "mock castles".
