only an American would be so delusional and place this abomination of a 'castle' in the same line as all the other buildings. this ludicrous structure will be the first to get demolished while all others will still stand proudly for many more decades or even centuries.
Most "Top whatever" lists end up highlighting the media creator's preferences, so I have no issues with the buildings described. Except for one: ignoring famous places such as the Alhambra, Versailles or Malbork to include Disneyland's castle is beyond me. If we're to include fantasy buildings, then why not CGI places like Hogwarts or Winterfell?
The "castle", wikipedia: "a castle is a type of fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by the nobility or royalty and by military orders. Scholars usually consider a castle to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a mansion, palace and villa, whose main purpose was exclusively for pleasance and are not primarily fortresses but may be fortified." Everything else 'looks' like a castle.
No criticism of the list or the video, but the term castle can be vague, and I'm a little picky. To me a castle is a fortified structure built prior to the use of gunpowder for the purpose of providing a defendable position whereby troops can retire awaiting reinforcements during sieges. In particular ones used by a presiding noble or landowner. 15 - Neuschwanstein Castle - 19thC private palace built in the style of an imagined castle 14 - Castillo San Felipe del Morro - fortress and citadel built in the 16thC and designed specifically for use of and defence against cannons 13 - Amber Fort - built in late16thC the original intention was for it to be used as a castle. It was soon remodified and extended to become a fort designed for housing troops with only minimal defence elements. 12 - Alcázar of Segovia - the core of this is a castle built in the 13thC. 11 - Edinburgh Castle - castle started in the 11thC with building and rebuilding going on to the 18thC 10 - Himeji Castle - castle built 14C through 17thC 9 - Krak des Chevaliers - 12thC castle 8 - Kalmar Castle - castle built in 13thC and improved 15thC 7 - Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes - 14thC castle 6 - Forbidden City - built in the 15thC as an impressive palace structure rather than a serious fortification 5 - Chapultepec Castle - private palace built in the 19thC 4 - Prague Castle - castle complex built from the 9thC to the 18thC 3 - Aït Benhaddou - fortified village. 2 - Sleeping Beauty's Castle - theme park 1 - Tower of London - extensions to make it a castle done in the 12thC and 13thC.
I appreciate that you gave your attribute requirements for what you, personally, would consider of a structure to be considered a "castle," as opposed to how others have a tendency to do by insisting upon their own parameters being the Defacto requirements for "castle" status. Some might not consider a Lego Castle to be a castle, but what else could it be? 😉😁😄
22:33- Don't forget that in addition to the Tower of London having been a fortress, palace, prison and treasure, the Tower of London had its own ZOO with some of the most rare and exotic animals to be seen in England from the 1200's until 1835 when its residents were moved into what's now the London Zoo!
Admittingly, I was surprised that "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" was on this list, but I am quite glad that it is. Some might argue that this iconic castle located in the first Disney Park ever built shouldn't be on this list for one reason or another, but the reality is that "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" is exactly that, a castle! The reason for its construction is irrelevant similarly to many of the other castles presented in this video as they were also built for various unique and commonplace reasons. Many, as well, not retaining the same principal function throughout their existence, but instead often times the function of the castle being relevant to the ongoing circumstances of its geographical location and/or political/cultural control. Probably the most common function of many still remaining castles is of tourist and cultural heritage attractions which are visited as part of the desired entertainment by those who visit the castles, no different from Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
Kyffhausen Imperial Castle is only a ruin today, but it is a mystical place. Legends say that the ghost of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa sleeps in the Kyffhäuser Mountains. Little children who have visited the Kyffhäuser Monument together with their parents claim again and again and completely independently of each other that the stature of Barbarossa waved to them.
Neuschwanstein is not a castle in the "fortified residence" sense. It's a fancy mansion in castle design. Below the plaster, there is a reinforced concrete structure with brick walls.
Every bit as spectacular of the list of Castles is your clear diction and eloquent pronunciation of the names. As for me, I could only introduce the one at Disney Land. 😢
Another europe centric garbage vedio😂😂 Hey man you have to check 1) jodhpur fort (where the dark night shoots) 2) kumbhalgarh fort (wirld 2nd largest wall after china) 3) golden fort, jaisalmir(only living fortress situated in a desert city) 4) chittorgarh fort
Disneyland Castle doesn’t belong on this list of world castles. It is strictly for entertainment purposes.
Neuswastain the same
@@carlosgracia9888 Neuschwastain has little bit of history

The Potala-Palace in Lhasa, Malbork Castle in Poland, The Cremlin in Moscow and the Acropolis in Athens are missing on this list.

Castles are always awesome to watch

Maybe you should make your own video
😆😆😆 you have Disneyland Castle on the list, but not placing the largest castle in the world on this list? That's sad.
Number 2 on the list is a joke. A piece of plastic garbage. Not a castle.

Interesting but a fairly loose interpretation of what a castle is as opposed to just grand structures
The famous wedding march "Here comes the bride" comes from Wagner's opera "Lohengrin,"

I didn't think forts like the Amber Fort counted as literal castles.
Tower of London. Grandpa's house. If you have roots in the UK more than likely William is a relative.
❤️
Forgot to mention the Tower of London was a Zoo...
Every bit as spectacular of the list of Castles is your clear diction and eloquent pronunciation of the names. As for me, I could only introduce the one at Disney Land. 😢
Ignoring a lot of other incredible and iconic castles and giving 2nd place to disneyland castle is just rude
