I was watching Hotel Hell a few weeks back and some lad in Ohio had built a £12 million castle, had to be one of the most ridiculous, tackiest things I've ever seen.

There's only a single bona fide castle in North America that I know of, tho Canada may have some around as having a queen they could legit build some even today if they cared to.

Pictured is not it, even if it was technically built to serve as a title seat for European nobility, calling any fort/residence and manor a castle really only cheapens the term

Its a royal castle since the viceroy used to live there. Most european royalties live in royal castles as well but they are more like palaces or manors.
Its not my fault the defininition is like that.

It was the residence of a Habsburg emperor, it did actually function as castle enduring siege during the Mexican-American war and it does posess the architectural elements (battlements, towers, etc) that define a castle. You may not like Austrian style castles but it is a text book one.

No real castles here but Québec City is the only remaining city with a defensive wall around it in USA or Canada. Built by the French 400 years ago and strengthened by the Brits in the mid 18th century. The citadel also still remains as part of the ramparts.

If you are unaware of the obvious Victorian reconstruction of those walls, ramparts, and especially gates then you're oblivious to the architecture of both the period it originates and the period it was restored. If we consider the colonial period up until 1776 then there's nothing impressive I'm Canada at the time. Even until the end of the Georgian era there isn't anything

The poster is also posting Italianiate which never really caught on for public buildings in the US and is completely shat on by earlier brick Georgian architecture

1992 and 2012 interior restorations were historically accurate and had more to do with keeping the place safe and clean. 1806's expansion was owing to its continued use and city demands. You didn't even mention the 1899 complete restoration which would've btfo out of my argument

That's not how it works, you are a fucking ignorant using definitions proper to ignorants like you, a castle it's a military building with defensive structures, no "where cinderella lives hihihi hurr durr".

No, I'm not quite being fair, I'm pulling an age of things argument like a Eurocuck. I prefer Canadian public architecture, I can't stand Neo-Classical and I hate most of our state houses. Ours in New Jersey is one of the most hideous structures I've seen. They've been adding wings to it haphazardly since the 1790s.

Los castillos estaban hechos para defender al noble que vivía en el, los fuertes eran estructuras militares. Hay una gran diferencia entre ambos pero basicamente el fuerte es el sucesor del castillo.
