What is castle.guide?

castle.guide is a passion project built around three things: going to castles, photographing them, and writing guides worth reading. Every castle on this site has been researched individually – with practical visitor information, high-quality photography under open licenses, and maps that put each castle in its geographic context. The site is growing steadily.

• 📷 Photography: Every castle photographed and published under Creative Commons. Free to use, always credited.
• 🗺️ Geography & Maps: Interactive maps at every level – from individual castles to entire regions. Because location is everything.
• 📖 Castle Guides: Detailed visitor guides covering what to see, what to do, and what’s nearby. The best on the internet – that’s the goal.
