If the castle was razed, how is it now presently owned? the_ed17 01:51, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
A private home was built on the land in the 17th century; that house is currently classified as the castle since it contains lots of remaining chunks of the old one, such as the 11th century gatehouse. Ironholds 01:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, alright...I get it now. =) Thanks. the_ed17 02:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
No problemo :). I know it calls it the "castle" later in the article, so I can understand the confusion. Ironholds 02:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
