I've seen castle #4 in person when I went to Spain as a sophomore in high school. I don't remember much about it though. I just remember thinking about how incredible it was.

My sister visited and awesome castle years ago. I can't remember where it was, it may have been France. The castle was surrounded by sand and had a curfew. The reason it had a curfew was that the ground was so flat, that the ocean would come in from miles away and surround the castle at high tide and you couldn't get in or out. I really want to find out the name of that castle. Then I could find some pictures of it.

I know the one you're talking about. I've seen pictures of it before.

it's not exactly a grand castle but there is a castle in pendleton. the only reason i've seen the castle is because the lady called us to the house for an EMS call. apparently the story behind them is that when the guy that built them moved over with his wife he built the castle to give his wife a bit of home in the new world. but i'm definitely planning on visiting some of the castles in ireland when i go there.
