Castles, Palaces & Great Houses helps readers distinguish castles, fortresses, citadels, palaces, manor houses, great estates and official residences by original purpose, evidence and present use.
The site was rebuilt from a repetitive automated article archive. Topics were consolidated, rewritten and reorganized so each guide answers a separate question.
Publishing
Castles, Palaces & Great Houses is a division of WRS Web Solutions Inc.
Scope
The site is international. Canadian sites are included where they add useful comparisons, especially the Fortifications of Québec, the Citadelle, Rideau Hall, the Fortress of Louisbourg and buildings whose “castle” or “château” names do not match their original function.
