I live in Europe and every few kms there is a castle, chateux, fort or something like that. Sadly, many of them are crumbling because it is not easy to find use for cold fort in middle of nowhere.
There is even no catalogue of castles, because no historian has the capacity to document them at all.
Wikipedia lists e.g. notable ones in Central Bohemia. The area is 11,014 km² (bigger than Delaware, but smaller than Connecticut) and look how many got in the list.
Obviously, most of the buildings are not illustrious, well preserved castle complexes. But there is still plenty of them.

Damn, that's beautiful.
Being formed only in the 1700's, we have no castles here in the US. Wanting to go explore all of the old castles of Europe is something I would love to do at some point.
