Great we finally reached 1300s architecture again maybe in another 200 years we will be back at 1500s then in another few we'll be back at 1700s.

Looks more like a cluster of buildings than a castle, but it does look more authentic than most modern attempts.

Beautiful.
How much did it cost for him to build it?

Meh, I rather live in a small thatched roof cottage in the village outskirts on my own land of course.

Would not care about the castle, to each their own.

>>512898327 (OP)
what's the point when it's accessible to the public

what do you think castles are? disney shit?

>>512898327 (OP)
It’s cool if
>they used traditional building techniques
>it has traditional style architecture
It would be like a museum showing all Polish style construction through the ages. If it doesn’t do that then it’s kind of tacky.

castle sieges are solved. smart chads dig holes. jews fear the hole digger.

looks cool. i would like to fuck off and live there away from normies

>>512900285
You're thinking of the keep, the "main" building inside the castle

>>512898327 (OP)
Castles will be relevant again after the collapse. During the collapse they will still be vulnerable by air.

>>512898327 (OP)
Nice
I want a job larping as a medieval castle guard

Childhood dream to live in a European castle of my own design in the woods with hectares of virgin woodland and fields as a view

>Construction of Stobnica Castle began in 2015
>The gate leading into the castle is closed. Currently, it's not possible to enter or tour the grounds due to ongoing construction. This will likely become an option in the future.
nigga is there 10 people building this shit or what

>>512898327 (OP)
modern weaponry has made most fortifications obsolete.
I could siege his castle with a minivan, shotgun and a couple of drones.

>>512901629
the construction was halted many times by the courts due to legal claims, but recently the court ordered the construction to be resumed and closed any legal cases

Not necessarily

My childhood dream was always picturing myself being old, sitting in a rocking chair and UK chocolate box cottage type home with stone walls and inglenook fireplace.

I remember as a child I has never heard of these types of homes, I thought it only existed in my immaginarion. One day we were having dinner and talking about dream rooms and decorating, my mom told me my dream room and home exists in UK.

I always picture me sitting, sipping tea next to an oil lamp and fire stove, looking outside via small windows, with stone walls, rich small cozy carpet layers and low ceilings with beams.

And, I pictured haveing a trinket mega cabinet of tea pots and whatnot figurines.

But also I used to picture walking grand large stone buildings, maybe in some past life I lived in a small cozy place within some mega complex.

Ugly. Too overladen with towers and windows. Defenses likely poorly thought out. Material too light.

>>512898327 (OP)
looks cool from satellite

>>512902200
Oh and the wall towers are in shitty places. No roof over the crenelations. Probably no murder holes either.

>>512902200
>it looks too much like a castle and stone never darkens

>>512902520
It doesn't look like a castle. Isit trying to be a representative seat of a noble with all those fancy buildings and huge windows? Or is it meant as a defensible fortress with being on a lake and having a pre castle?

>>512898327 (OP)
>windows you can climb into from the first floor
That's a palace not a castle

>>512902520
don't get baited by the obvious troll bro

>>512898327 (OP)
It's just brick veneer over a wooden frame.

>>512898327 (OP)
A NEW castle? That's pretty cool ngl.

>>512902809
I am serious. That's an ugly complex and a far cry from somethkng historically authentic.

>>512902355
Just look at the tower placement here. The towers should be jutting out a bit for optimal field of fire. Instead the walls have these useless, counter productive angles to them.

Now there are a lot of castles that were shit at defense. Those were for representative purposes. But this,one isn't even that. It mimics the style of a heavily defended place, without actually being one.

>>512903088
at least be entertaining

>>512903280
based and brickpilled

>>512898327 (OP)
It looks great, didnt realize you could find people to build like this

theres no way they built it properly like hundreds of years ago, as cool as this is, im very skeptical of junkie browns who probably built it to save money

>>512902355
It’s just random shit stuck together. No real symmetry. Even one tower is crooked. This is as bad as Blizzard designing Stormwind.

>The german austist LARPing as a castle expert is totally oblivious to the fact that historically many castles were basically vacation villas and lost all their defensive aspects, not to mention castle construction spans millennia and they were built with the bleeding edge technology of the times, so talking about "historical accuracy" while actual historical castles were not accurate to anything is retarded

>>512898327 (OP)
looks like a horror to maintain

>>512903813
All castles were after we lost the last Advanced Civilization sometime in the 1800s!

This particular one is not chimerical at least skyline wise or centered somewhat, it's not great works, built probubly or modified by less advanced hands and minds.

That being said, to esch their own, their own castle so to speak to their liking.

>>512898327 (OP)
That's actually a legit impressive castle.

>>512904035
>All castles were after we lost the last Advanced Civilization sometime in the 1800s!
This. The great Tartarians left earth around that time and most knowledge was lost with them. They purposely planted disinformation like how people believe the earth is round so people would forget about them. It's actually flat and the sun is a synthetic heat lamp only a few miles away. Nobody knows where they went, perhaps they are the ones controlling our reality. It appears we truly are entering a new dark age.

>>512902355
Looks nice. If I had the money, I'd lke to build one, but what would I even put in all those rooms? All I need is my mom's basement.

What would (you) put on those extra rooms, /pol/?

>>512902078
First bit is my downstairs lol

Post your castle faggot…. Here is a picture of my backyard.

toilets?

>>512903760
Nothing of what you say is news to me, dumbfuck.

This polish thing is a shit example of even a castle built over centuries. It's too uniform and planned out for that.

>>512903760
He's right though, it looks like a mess. And no castle building does not span millennia... they were little more than stonewall enclosures until the French started to retrofit them with crenelated turrets and keeps around the 12th century.

No?
Build underground. Preferably 50-100 feet for natural radiation shielding, solar protection, bunker busters, easy invasion.

>>512904894

That won't protect you against rampaging bandits.

>>512904959
See, that's a proper, defensible castle. Straight walls, towers as strong points. Angular walls only complicate defense until cannons come into play. At which point walls become squat, thick and angular to deflect shots.

That polish building looks more like Neuschwanstein. But unlike the 19th century bavarian castle, this one doesn't stick to the theme and mixes in defensive structures from various centuries. Ugh....

>>512898327 (OP)
What's crazy is just hoe much you can physically do with huge money then you take people like Elon who ego buy a website for 40 billion.

He could have replicated the Egyptian pyramids 10 times over... like its crazy what wealthy people lack.

>>512905607
Castles are great, but they're obsolete. A tank is far more destructive than a trebuchet or ballista. 1 bomber with ordnance could depopulate a castle.
Philosophically, your people are your fortress, your nation is your first and last line of defense and everything in between. It is better to build your people than your estate.

>>512898327 (OP)
tfw no /pol/castle

>>512898327 (OP)
>poland finally reach the medieval times and braggin about this on /pol/

>>512907700
You're in /pol/castle, completely under siege and overrun. There's still some fight left in it, but ultimately its just one castle and by overrunning it, they ensured they would lose the large battlefield, fighting for this one retarded castle.

>>512901201
>"Polish style construction"
lol
> Literally the standard construction method of the time across all of Europe with mostly some regional variations.

What an absolute dumbfuck.

You mean finally going back to medieval times.

Speaking of, here you go, as you wished.
