i am looking for a set of building plans to build a castle that looks somewhat like cinderella's castle in disney world. i hope to use modern material readily available nationwide(not stone),probably concrete with some brick. i am looking at designing my own plans, but would prefer to use a proven design. also i am not a millionaire,just a regular guy that has built a few homes and wants my last one to be something special. any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Hi Bob,
ops! you hit a bit of a raw nerve there I think, not our favourite item.
But it does take all types of building to make life interesting.
There is a site that does cover that type of thing ... I think!
www.castlemagic.com Good luck with your build, though not my cuppa tea either.

merlin, i owe you an apology. a friend of mine says typing in caps is like yelling and i meant no offence, i am computer illiterate, and a poor typist to boot.peter, thanks for the lead,roger was of some help and willing to help further.i am just trying to take the henry ford / mother earth / new local building materials approach to castle building.i can not afford 1.5 million but think something acceptable could be built for the means of the average joe. thanks again |

No problem, Bob. I wish you good luck with your project. Over here in Switzerland, you would have a very hard time to get any official allowance to build such a thing, but in the US that something completely different... |

Greetings, Bob.I'm new to the castle-building biz, but I've been interested in castles all my life. You can find more information on "Cinderella's Castle" by looking up information on Neuschwanstein castle, in Germany. Here's a link you might find useful.
http://www.germanworld.com/neu.htm It was this castle that Walt Disney took his inpsiration from when creating Cinderella's Castle. Thought this tidbit might help. Good luck! Simon |
