I'm sure several of you have seen the news bites about the castle built behind haybales by a UK farmer. Here's another castle built by the owner for around £330,000 during the 1990s (that's around $500K US at the time) that has attracted a lot less attention, probably because he did it legally. At any rate, Braylsham castle is a really neat castle that was built by an individual with the help of his family on a time budget of around 3 days a week. Many of the building's interesting parts are architectural salvage and some of them were created by hand in modern times. Many might think that a towering, turreted brick of a building is the only castle that they would want to build, I think this building's design as a family home and castle is fantastic. While it isn't an owner built castle here in the US, it's such a well done piece I figure folks might be interested.
