Best castles

Veeky Forums, what are the best castles aesthetically? What about those with the best defensive record? Do pretty castles tend to not be as defensible as the ones that are just big slabs of brick?

Pic is Narikala in Tbilisi.

YOU ARE MUTUALLY CONFLATING CASTLES, AND FORTRESSES.

CASTLES ARE BIG PALACES; FORTRESSES ARE BIG FORTS SURROUNDING A CITADEL.

Is your schtick just some long term character troll to try and piss people off by tapping out half truths or complete bullshit in the most obnoxious, arrogant manner that you could think of?

Neuschwanstein.

You're the one who is confused. Very often they are both. See Prague Castle.

Impregnable

Not a real castle.

Post real castles.

It seems so impractical. I know castles were mainly to show control and power over a region, but that's just not with it.
I feel for that team of poor serfs that would have to drag wagon after wagon of supplies up the mountain.

Impregnable :3c

>serfs
That word doesn't just mean "peasant", it has a specific meaning.

THE INNER BUILDING IS A CASTLE, BUT THE COMPLEX AS A WHOLE IS A FORTRESS.

Yes,

Are you actually this moronic?

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, report, or filter them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the Veeky Forums culture forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty text-box and type up a work of art? Or sit in silence and fabricate a new meme that nobody has seen before? Or elevate an inane discussion to sublime heights?

We provide a mirror for this kind of people. They gives us light.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the WWW, are the ones who do.

What are you talking about? Rock peaks have been used as defensive positions since the Stone Age. The peak is a better defense than the castle. It's perfectly practical, even considering logistics.

The inner building is a keep or donjon. A fortress isn't the house of a lord.

That dense forest looks like a nightmare to keep an eye on for intruders.
