In the
old days, a castle was built for defense purposes and as a
fortress. It guarded against enemies and were also
used as an offensive weapon. In 2009, castles are
homes for the rich and famous or they are historic sites for
tourists. The 2009 Castles calendars show some
magnificent structures from around the globe. Castles
are no longer built, but there are many famous ones
throughout Europe. The Lake Island Castle in Lithuania
is a site to behold. There is the Edinburgh Castle,
Windsor, and the Tower of London. As these 2009 calendar
shows, there are very few, if any, castles in the United
States. By the time Europeans took over the land,
castles were a thing of the past. |
