INTRODUCTION: I was motivated to collect photos of castles after seeing some stunning castles during television broadcasts of the 2006 Tour de France. It reminded me of some of the interesting castles that I saw in France during a couple of trips to Europe in the 1960's and 1970's. This is a preliminary collection. I may continue to look for images of some of the castles that I have seen --- on the Tour de France TV shows or personally. Castles and fortresses are an endangered species. There is no requirement for them anymore. So I would like to preserve images of them here --- just in case wars and natural disasters wipe out more of them. |

How to Navigate the images : You can simply scroll down this page to view the images. OR . . . you can click a letter of the alphabet (links below) to go to images of castles of countries whose names start with that letter. For example, to go to castles of France click on the letter 'F', and then scroll down to the images labelled 'France'. OR ... you can use the 'Find Text' option of your web browser to look for 'keywords' on this page --- such as the name of a castle or the name of a province or city or region. For example, you can use the string 'marse' to find photos of castles/fortresses in the city of Marseilles, France. Ways to View the images : Each photo is shown scaled to a width proportional to the width of your browser window. Each photo is a link to a new window (or tab) that shows the image at its natural size. Click on any photo to see it in a separate window. Close (or minimize) the separate window(s) to access this window again. If you hold the mouse cursor over a photo, a small pop-up 'balloon' will provide a brief description of the photo, with the pixel-size indicated. (These pop-ups should work in most web browsers.) Most of the images are medium- to high-resolution --- more than 500 pixels wide. |
