6Loches Castle, France
Nestled in the Loire Valley, Loches Castle was built in the early 12 th century about 500 meters over Indre River, with its most notable feature being the huge square tower. Currently, the erstwhile fortress serves as a museum and features probably the best collection of French military memorabilia. Local legend has it that the palace was a gift from King Charles VII to his concubine Agnes Sorel, which was later turned into a prison by the king’s son. The Castle has held several English captives during the American Revolution.
You forgot Castle De Haar of the Rothschild Family.
( Citadel of Aleppo) considered to be one of the oldest and largest castles in the world.
Thanks for reading!
I think that castle simply did not make the cut off. But thanks for your comment and thanks for reading my stuff.
You should have included Trakai Island, Teutonic castle on Lake Galve, Lithuania. It is far more breath taking and impressive than castles on this list like Bodiam Castle, and both castles are “island” castles.

Hello!
Unfortunately we did not poll readers for this particular article. Your choice does sound familiar though so chances are it was on the list but did not make it into this particular “top 10.”
Thanks for your support!
Have been to Sant Mount Michel. Breathtaking. Would like to revisit. Know I would discover much I didn’t see first time.
We all understand that thought!
Thanks for the comment and your support!
I must add Neuschwanstein Castle to my bucket list as something to do in Germany. Thanks so much for sharing
