11. Château de Suscinio, France

The Château de Suscinio is located on the coast of northwestern France near the Atlantic Ocean.  This late-medieval castle is surrounded by marshes and was originally the home of Dukes of Brittany and a manor for an agricultural estate.  In the 1100s it was converted to a castle.  It includes a dovecote, a dilapidated chapel, a castle with a moat, and several other ruined structures.  It remains a well-preserved example of a Western European fortress.

12. Malbork Castle, Poland

Known to some as “the Teutonic Order in Malbork,” Malbork Castle is a castle and fortress that dates back to the 1200s.  Located in Northern Poland, it is reported to be the largest castle on the planet when measured by land area.  Construction here was not actually finished until 1406. It had to be expanded numerous times because the number of Teutonic Knights experienced significant growth.  At one time in its history, it was the home of more than 3000 knights.
