Ikemen Prince Real Life Castles

Hi babes! I'm feeling like adding yet another layer of delusion to our already delulu brains, so here’s my take on what IkePrince castles would look like in real life. This way, you can visit them while pretending to be Belle running down the hallways looking for your beloved prince.

Rhodolite

The Rhodolite castle would be grand and ornate, with French Renaissance and Baroque influences. Expect elegant stonework, elaborate gardens with fountains, and decorative elements like balustrades and statues. The interior would feature intricate tapestries, gold accents, and chandeliers, exuding an air of refined nobility and romance.

Some examples could be:

Château de Chambord - France

Palace of Versailles - France

Château de Chantilly - France

Château de Chenonceau - France

Schönbrunn Palace - Austria

Dunrobin Castle - United Kingdom

Lednice na Moravě - Czechia

Château de Ussé - France

Obsidian

The Obsidian castle would have a stern, gothic architecture with imposing towers and stone walls. Think of dark, medieval castles with fortified structures, high walls, and sharp angles. Interiors would be minimalistic and austere, emphasizing function over ornamentation but with a touch of grandeur in public spaces.

Some examples could be:

Hohenzollern Castle - Germany

Edinburgh Castle - Scotland

Moszna Castle - Poland

Burg Eltz - Germany

Garibaldi Castle - Russia

Château du Bousquet - France

Inveraray Castle - United Kingdom

Cologne Cathedral - Germany

Benitoite

The Benitoite castle would be built with Italian Renaissance and Mediterranean styles in mind. Expect warm-toned stone, arches, and decorative columns. Courtyards would be lush, with fountains and intricate tile work. Interiors might have frescoes, marbled halls, and large windows to let in light, creating a grand yet inviting atmosphere.

Some examples could be:

Palazzo Ducale - Italy

Belvedere Palace - Austria

Howard Castle - United Kingdom

Catherine Palace - Russia

Palazzo Pitti - Italy

Miramare Castle - Italy

Swallow’s Nest Castle - Ukraine

The Royal Palace - Spain

Jade

The Jade castle would be charming, integrated with its natural surroundings. Built in a style that’s less imposing and more in harmony with nature, it would be surrounded by gardens and water features. Think of understated beauty, with an emphasis on wooden accents, greenhouses, and large windows overlooking gardens and the forest.

Some examples could be:

Stoke Rochford Hall Leisure Club - United Kingdom

Harlaxton Manor - United Kingdom

Knebworth House - United Kingdom

Castle de Haar - The Netherlands

Château de Villandry - France

Lowenburg Castle - Germany

Brissac Castle - France

Vouzeron Castle - France

Tanzanite

The Tanzanite castle would be exotic and filled with intricate details, such as domed roofs, archways, and extensive mosaics. The castle would feature courtyards with fountains, lush gardens, and reflective pools, creating a tranquil and mystic vibe. Interiors would be lavish, with patterned tile work, vibrant colors, and plush furnishings.

Some examples could be:

La Sagrada Familia - Spain

Alhambra - Spain

Golestan Palace - Iran

Ali Qapu Palace - Iran

Topkapi Palace - Turkey

Alcázar de Sevilla - Spain

Taj Mahal - India

Shrine of Hazrat Ali - Irak

Kogyoku

The Kogyoku castle would have traditional Japanese architecture, with wooden structures, curved tiled roofs, and wide, open spaces for viewing nature. The castle would be surrounded by gardens with koi ponds and sakura trees. Interiors would feature shoji screens, tatami mats, and simple but elegant furnishings.

Some examples could be:

Himeji Castle - Japan

Matsumoto Castle - Japan

Shuri Castle - Japan

Nijo Castle - Japan

Osaka Castle - Japan

Katsuyama Castle - Japan

Nagoya Castle - Japan

Kinkakuji Castle - Japan

Achroite

The Achroite castle would be a blend of Scandinavian minimalism and rugged fortification, built with stone and wood. It would sit atop a hill or near a lake, with a natural and slightly harsh look. The design would be simple, with a focus on functionality and integration with the landscape, including large fireplaces and wood-paneled rooms for warmth.

Some examples could be:

Neuschwanstein Castle - Germany

Château de Ferreries - France

Château de Boismorand - France

Château de Vigny - France

Château d'Haroué - France

Hallgrimskrikja Cathedral - Iceland

Bojnice Castle - Slovakia

Pierrefonds Castle - France

And that’s everything for now! I’m planning to continue this exploration with possible traditional dances, music, customs, fashion, food, and festivities each kingdom might have. What do you think? What would you like to explore next?

See you on the next post my dears!!!!! XOXO

Hello dear!

Do you mind if i request got7 reaction during a trip/vacation? Like what would they like, going around the place/stay at the hotel, visit museum, or etc.

Thankies💚

Mark:

loves the city life so it’d be new york with him. going to times square. he’ll make you take pictures with nearly any mascots you pass in the streets. mornings in central park, fancy restaurants at night and takes you on cafe dates. must visit the empire state building before leaving.

Jay B:

roadtripping to his favorite camping spot. he’s so prepared, you’d think there was an apocalypse coming. he’s such an old man (literally his words). cooks kimchi jjigae for you, teaches you to fish, and lots of pda. especially inside of the tent after a long day of hiking.

Jackson:

y’all hit up paris for fashion week. buys you and himself matching all-black looks. you both enjoy the the fashion and the shows along with the parties, soirées, and private exhibitions. but between that, he’d make personal quality time with you. probably won’t be leaving your hotel suite, much.

Jinyoung:

gets an airbnb in japan. you’ll spend a lot of time outdoors and hiking until you’re complaining. but he’ll reward you for reaching the top of the mountain with kisses and feeding you the lunch he packed. he’ll take pictures of any and everything. especially of you when you’re pouting about being out too long. but he’ll make it up to you by taking you to visit a niche earring shop and a romantic rooftop restaurant.

Youngjae:

he planned your london trip in detail before suggesting going there. books a stay in at sloane. don’t really need to leave such a cozy and chic place but he’ll want to make sure you visit every single landmark, taking a walk in hyde park.

Bambam:

he loves experiencing local cultures and food while he’s traveling. he’d take you on a nice vacation to india and having vada pav would be at the very top of the to-do list. you’d probably be doing lots of eating, honestly. you’ll stay at the taj mahal palace. he’ll want to go to the amusement park during the day and then take you for a stroll at marine drive at night.

Yugyeom:

plans a trip to jeju but doesn’t plan on leaving the room at grand hyatt. just wants to stay in bed and cuddle you the entire time you’re both there. but if you do manage to drag him out, hope your knees are as stable as his. he’d probably want to visit the indoor theme park or the snoopy garden. do some retail therapy at k-fashion mall. you’ll take walks on the beach, bare feet running in the hot sand. and cocktail lounges at night. anything to drag out the day and burn you out so you’d make it up to him in bed where he wanted to stay in the first place. (sexual or not. up to you).

[pocket-deer-boy]

thinking about that episode of totally spies where they go to some made up african country that references liberia in name, which borders on a country vaguely named after kenya, two subsaharan countries on opposite sides of the continent in real life. Anyways they go there on camel through the sahara desert, and in the middle of the desert lies the palace of the queen of Lyrobia (liberia?) and it's just the fcking taj mahal. and everyone in the fucking palace is vaguely middle eastern looking and literally nobody there is black. in africa.
