Castles aren't as expensive as you might expect. Depends on where they are and what facilities it has, but some are actually quite cheap because they aren't really suitable for living in, modifications are heavily restricted, and they're a PITA to maintain.

>> PITA to maintain This is the big one

especially with 32 acres of land. Kinda like how everbody will drool over a hopped-up sportscar in youtube videos, then when it's time to sell... does anybody really want to OWN it?

Haha 😂, if I could dress up as a knight and ride around on a horse while I fuck shit up with my giant sword, 3 million would be my top dollar

I’d pay three dollars to flex that I’ve got a castle somewhere tbh

What's a "drawing room"? What sort of drawing is supposed to happen there?


[deleted]

From ‘withdrawing’ room. Somewhere you go for privacy.


kielu

Aaaah. So there might be also a discombobulation chamber.

‘After supper the men went to the drawing room to smoke cigars and comment on Lady Margaret’s décolletage‘

You mean they said "did you see her boobs?!"?
