Matt Davies 11/10/2026 – I really do like this angle (as keen-eyed observers may have noticed). I may think about using a measured tripod so I can take a year’s cycle, or something. It’s practically my front garden after all. 📷 – 10/10 #welshcastles #bloodynormans #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru

StoneKeep Atlas Your cell at the Château d'If, off Marseille, was priced. The poorest went into windowless dungeons cut into the rock, where life ran in weeks. Above them lay the pistoles: a window, a fireplace, a sea view, to anyone who could pay. I had not met that word. Had you? #Castles #History
Forest Archaic Collective #CastleSaturday and while the Alhambra is & has many things: Palace, Court, Church, Gardens Its also a great fortress & the Alcazaba on the western side definitely fits the Castle criteria ...and it is just ludicrously pretty 🥰 See more of Granada in the episode >>> www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mIW...

StoneKeep Atlas Burg Katz (Katz Castle), above St. Goarshausen from the 1360s, was built to overshadow a Trier castle downstream, nicknamed the mouse. The boast is legend. France blew up the cat in 1806; today's Katz is an 1890s rebuild. The mouse is original. Send this to a Rhine-cruise friend. #Castles #History
@scottishtours.bsky.social If you look closely, you’ll be able to see the stunning Dunrobin Castle, a building we think looks like it could have been plucked straight from the pages of a fairytale. What do you think? #castles #Scotland @scotland.co #Dunrobincastles #Scottishcastles

StoneKeep Atlas Kilns in the state rooms. Europe's first hard-paste porcelain works ran inside Albrechtsburg Castle at Meissen, Saxony, from June 6, 1710 to 1863. Begun in 1471 as the first German Schloss, the palace was barely lived in before the furnaces came. Go for the ceilings, not the view. #Castles #History
