The Castle Builders

Scattered throughout the world, there are a small handful of castles made by non-architects, constructed without a team of workers, and with very little money.

All the castles presented below were built by a single person, with occasional help from family members or friends. Raised rock by rock from the ground, these castles are the result of unfaltering vision, pure will, and a lifetime effort to make literal the phrase “a man’s home is his castle.”

Curious Expeditions takes you on a tour of 15 such self-built castles. The castle pictured is Chateau Laroche in Loveland, Ohio. Link
