Star forts are always a pleasure to see.

Crazy imagining how poorly that would hold up to modern armaments.

Yeah, this was a prison in the Civil War, a far cry from a castle! Fun Halloween ghost tours, though.
Take a look at DuPont estates in Delaware – the closest we have to castles! Winterthur, Nemours, and (PA) Longwood Gardens are the epitome of luxury.

That is badass! Nice to see the U.S get a look in on this sub! I think I’ll try it for my next sandcastle!

Not that I’m disappointed in the slightest by most of the submissions here, but I’d love to see more American forts/castles in this sub!

She has a really interesting history.
