Talk:List of castles in the United States

message: There were some real European castles taken apart stone by stone and shipped to the US and re-assembled here by wealthy late 19th and early 20th C patrons, when European castles were going cheap, Americans were rich and labor and shipping was affordable. I can't recall which or where, one is in NJ I think, but there are a few around. -- Stbalbach 05:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: real castles in the USA

message: For Castles in the United States, there is the Castillo de San Marcos, in St. Augustine, FL. It is no modern folly, it can only be described as a real fortress. Please add it to the page, and (by necessity) edit the blurb at the top. 
We've got at least one. 57.68.49.4 20:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that easily classifies as a castle, it's a fort. If you include forts there are 100s in the US. But forts I think are different from castles.  -- Stbalbach 00:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Spanish did build some castles in the Americas, but none in the United States. Although in name, Castillo de San Marcos would seem to be a castle, it actually belongs to a later period of Spanish fortress building in the Americas (the second period, or "bastion period", as it is known).  --Grimhelm 15:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I did some clean up on the article today, although it needs more.  I also added lots of additional images.  New York seems to have the highest concentration and some of the best examples of American "castles", but I tried to balance out the images with attention to good examples from a variety of locations around the nation.

replies: text: Okay, now all entries are referenced (although some are primary) and have a short description.  I've removed a couple of very modern ones that searches indicated had no notability and were likely added as advertisements.  I've also added many new ones and plan to add more.  A large number are on the National Register of Historic Places and some are designated as National Historic Landmarks, so I'll add that to their descriptions as well as soon as I sort it all out.  Has anyone given any thought to inserting the entries into a table?  Photos exist for the majority of those listed.  I can do it, but will wait a while for feedback first.

replies: text: I disagree with your removal of the MILHIST tag as some of the castles (Castillo de San Marcos, Old Georgia State Capitol, & San Francisco Armory... I'm not going through the whole list though...) did have a military purpose. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 11:16, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't think of it that way, the only one I was really thinking about that had a real military history was San Marcos, but the other two you mention, plus Bannerman's Castle did have those connections as well.  I've put it back. Altairisfar (talk) 14:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, thanks!! There are probably others that are missing from the list too, but those were just the ones that lept out to me. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 23:25, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

message: This needs to be made more accessible by converting it into a sortable table - as a very lengthy list it is very hard to identify groups, such as location, date of construction etc. Dan arndt (talk) 05:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
