Kales Castle of Lassithi: Kales Fortress is a hallmark of the town of Ierapetra. The Venetians built Kales Fortress on the northern sea wall of the port, to look out for enemy ships and protect the harbour from the Arab pirates. This castle is believed to have been built on the site of an old fortress and that the Venetians reinforced it. The fortress of Kales is a remnant of its time, its massive yet simple structure was made of stone without many adornments or decorative work. (5 years and 2972 days ago)

Brodie Castle near Forres was built by Clan Brodie in 1567 but partly destroyed by fire in 1645. It was greatly expanded in 1824 by the architect William Burn. In 1980 the Castle was taken into the care of the National Trust for Scotland. (5 years and 2975 days ago)

This old looking (Lancet Arch) entrance is actually on a 10 year old home built entirely as a castle. Neighbors still can't believe it. (5 years and 3038 days ago)
