Hello everyone,
I have a dream: someday I want to build a castle myself... a truly beautiful medieval-style castle.
To practice, I would like to start small at first... with a 70m2 (750 square feet) building.
I can hardly find any information about this... maybe I’m using the wrong search terms... does anyone have experience with this or know what I should be looking for?
Thank you very much!

do you know what to look for?First of all, you need to find a state that approves castles as new constructions.

With Section 34 insertion requirement, it becomes interesting to find the appropriate neighborhood.
I have seen new-build houses in castle style in Austria; online, you can find Wagner Projekt GmbH related to this. However, I could imagine this being very costly!
If I understand you correctly, you want to build using medieval construction methods, right? For residential buildings, complying with energy-saving regulations and the corresponding heating technology will certainly not be possible, at least not in Germany. You might have better chances if it is planned not as a residential house but rather as a garden pavilion.
Are you familiar with the Guédelon project in France?

I have a dream: I want to build a castle myself sometime… a really beautiful medieval castle. Preserving existing castles is already expensive enough to impoverish noble families, so used properties probably aren’t too costly. But what do you actually mean—what makes a "castle" to you? The drawbridge, the well, freezing in the latrine tower while using the moat as a toilet, the dungeon where intruders become skeletons...? Be honest: you just want to impress the castle ladies.
