c/castles@feddit.online: Castles - Recently Migrated from lemm.ee!

A place to share cool castles!

Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:

  • Castle name in native language (English name) - location [include country and region, if not city/town]
  • Best website (official or otherwise)
  • Some sort of map link
  • Visitation details: open/closed to public, closed but technically reachable, tours?, etc.
  • History: Whatever can be briefly copy-pasted

More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.

Harmony refers to the popular fan fiction and shipping community that imagines a romantic relationship between Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, two beloved characters from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.

While the original books depict them as close friends who share a strong bond, many fans reimagine their relationship as something deeper, exploring themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of growing up in the magical world.

This pairing captivates fans with its potential for both drama and heartfelt moments, fueling countless stories and creative interpretations within the fandom.
