Please help! Searching for the name of a
castle that has a carving of 5 dragons that
are chained together that stand for piracy,
murder, theft, treason, rape. Mentioned
briefly on either the Discovery Channel or
The Learning Channel around Halloween when
they were doing a special on Haunted Castles
of England/Scottland/Ireland. |

I have done a lot of research on castles over the past year, and I have seen almost every castle either in a book, slide, or online! I have never seen a castle that has designs on it like an animal or dragons or anything! Please be more specific! Thank you! |

Hi Red,
I'm afraid TV channels don't always play by the book. It may a valid thing you have seen, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Don't forget many 'castles' have been built in Victorian times. And although they look genuine, are most certainlt not.
I visited Penrhyn Castle here in North Wales for the first time this year. It is brilliant (my grandaughter and I thought it would be great for the Harry Potter books). I can't recall, but the staircase alone took somelike 10\12\13 years whatever to carve.
There are dragons & monsters all over the place.
But the castle isn't even a couple of hundred years old yet.
Having said that .. it is built over the core of a very ancient Welsh manor house. The cellers of which are still visible today. | |
