Defensive works, walls and towers of all periods.

Castles

Post-medieval houses that are not fortified, but are called x or y Castle or Château or Schloss, because there once was a castle on the site, should be submitted to Arts/Architecture/History/Building Types/Houses/
Fortified habitations, usually built and occupied during medieval times.

Castle replicas built as homes in later centuries and not intended for defence are not included in this category, unless the replica is a faithful reconstruction of an historical building on its original site.
