The story above referred to someone els that I read about. Have you tried searching for 'Grand Designs'? It is a TV programme in the UK, still going I think although I haven't seen it for many years (they don't broadcast in France). Anyway, they follow all kinds of curious and extravagant building projects, and might just have covered a castle at some point. Similarly someone told me of a TV programme called 'Chaos at the Castle' (again, i haven't seen it) but I think that was about restoring old castles and might be useful. Of course I might be wrong and it might have been a history documentary... Good luck with your project! Hi

I own a mountain (actually it's more of a ridge line but mountain sounds so much more interesting) in the Sunshine coast hinterland here in Australia and am researching building a castle / fortified house. I was just wondering how you are going with your project? I'm having a hard time finding anything on the net in the way of modern castle home designers. Anyway, good luck, would love to hear back from you Gov (Expat in Ozz) I stubbled upon your page here.
