Tower of London!⠀ ⠀ Did you know this place is supposedly haunted 😱 Do you believe in ghosts? Let me know if you can spot any in the windows!! ⠀ ⠀ You can take a free walking tour with the purchase of a ticket. It’s led by a man dressed in traditional clothes called a Beefeater!

Famous Castles on Earth That Still Standing Today

21. Afyonkarahisar 20. Bourtange 19. Bouzov 18. Chateau De Chillon 17. Chateu De Chambord 16. Brézé 15. Dunster Located in “sunny” England, Dunster Castle sits on a steep 200 ft hill. It’s survived several wars and peeks out from the trees.

14. Fenghuang and the Miao border wall Not so much a castle as it is a wall and city, Fenghuang and its enormous border wall, known as the  Miao border wall, was the center of the unfortunately unsuccessful Miao Rebellion.

13. Hochosterwitz Centered in Austria the castle was first mentioned in the 9th century. The only way in is a single, incredibly fortified path guarded by 14 gates. Kind of like the Eyrie in Game of Thrones.

12. Hohenwerfen Castle Yet another castle in Austria, the castle has stood for over 900 years. It’s also the basis for the Call of Duty 3 Zombies Map Der Eisendrache.

11. Irmelshausen Over 800 years old, Irmelshausen managed to avoid being destroyed during the German Peasant’s War and the Thirty Years War thanks to its very diplomatic inhabitants.

10. Kufstein This castle was made into a fortress during the gunpowder age, and inevitably became a prison for political dissidents of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

9. Laferrière This could be considered one of the newer castles on the list, and located in Haiti. Built by former slaves, it was used as a place of safety for those who rebelled against their masters and was instrumental in Haiti’s independence from France.

8. Lavoûte Polignac This is actually only a small part of what was once a larger castle. The castle originally had four corner towers, three wings and had a double line of ramparts. The south wing is all that’s left standing.

7. Mehrangarh Spanning over 3 miles in India over the old ciy of Jodhpur, this massive fortress is protected by 7 gates and walls up to 118 ft. high!

6. Mont Saint-Michel Not just a castle but an entire town, Mont Saint-Michel is the basis for the town in Tangled. The city also has a quirk, its only road is washed away for part of the year, completely isolating it from the world.

5. Neuschwanstein Castle You might recognize this castle as the one from Sleeping Beauty. The basis for the Disney film’s iconic castle is located in Germany.

4. Oude Loo What looks like your classic sort of castle is located in the Netherlands and was built in the 15th century. It’s currently owned by the state and is actually rented to the royal family!

3. Rivalta Located in Italy, Rivalta dates back to the 11th century. It was owned by the Orsini, and is accessible only through a stone drawbridge.

2. San Leo San Leo is a village and its fortress was initially built by the Romans and has been a hotspot of contention for the Byzantines, Goths, Franks and Lombards.

1. El castillo de Zafra, en Guadalajara Located in Spain, the Castillo de Zafra is also known to TV watchers as the Tower of Joy from Game of Thrones. Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle had fallen into disrepair and nearly completely crumbled away were it not for recent restoration efforts.
