Castles – Post #1 …Read Me!

This is going to be my castle log. My search for the perfect castle for me.

Why, you ask, would I do this?

Several reasons:
1. I like castles.
2. Good motivation.
3. I watched too many Disney movies and now I’m screwed up just like everyone else. Where’s my Cinderella? Where’s my castle and my happily ever after???
4. Did I mention I like castles?

So, I’ll just start it off slowly with this castle:

Egeskov Castle, Denmark

I like this castle for lots of reasons… It’s not too ostentatious and it has many of the features I would want in a home/castle.
Moat is a definite plus. Arched entryway into the courtyard. House with separate side-house for my studio/office (I paint). It has a tower at one corner.. all castles need a tower of some sort.

Negatives: brick instead of stone, funky facade shapes near ends of roof, tower not tall enough.

It’s not perfect but it’s a good start on my search.
