Modern day castle builders

[Bruce N H]

Hey all,

I ran across this business, Castle Magic Castle Builders, where they actually build castles for people to live in. It's obvious these guys really love what they do, and the photo gallery of their finished creations are really inspiring. I wonder if they grew up with LEGO?

Nice find! Looks like they make a fine product, if only I had the money for one...

Agreed...totally agreed.











Maybe someone will buy some old Megabloks Dragons for $100,000.


Yes I used to collect those.

Good to know you've returned from insanity.

Some day Bruce.... some day. I found this site likely a decade ago and think it is a neat concept. I would like to just make a simple castle with a smallish keep/manor and encircling wall with a gate and tower or two.

I've got the land. Now all I need is the money to build one.

Few people are probably aware that in Lebanon a guy built a castle for himself with his own bare hands. The castle is called Moussa castle from the name of its builder. Yes, it was a 50 year project, but the result is impressive too.

Wow.... extremely cool!

Nice site you got there!

Plans for a castle near Almere (the Netherlands) never came further than this:



They started building in 2002, but it was left unfinished since 2002, I believe due to financial problems. Nowaydays the ruin a touristic attraction

Funny thing is the castle's site (province of Flevoland) was only reclaimed from the IJsselmeer lake in 1968. In the medieval period most parts of what is now land was sea. So there was never a castle near this spot.

That would be such an awesome job! Really, think about it. Someone comes up to you and ask what your job is. You reply saying, "Oh, I build castles. Nothing to impressive really!" That's the job I want when I grow up.

I have always said that if I become mega rich I would build a castle and a walled town to surround it in a really random remote location in Ireland.
