I was just wondering if I could get a plan for a typical 1st floor of a castle. Not a specific castle, just an average one. In fact, if you know where to get plans for any other floors (basement, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) I'd like to know. Thank you! |

I am not sure as to if you are wanting them for your own design or if you are wanting to have one for research on a historical site. You may check with http://www.castlemagic.com/ I know they build specific castle plans, as well as customize to order, with a few to give you ideas on the site. Ours are not posted as of yet, but I know there are some for the Tirion Castle project on the yahoo groups page, as well as some for the Thornwood castle project. A search will give you the direct links. feel free to email if I can be of further assistance, as we have done a great deal of research on the topic. Good Luck! |

Galla: If you link to such sites as castlemagic.com, please note that the plans there have not much to do with real medieval castles. If someone uses them for a project at school, he may have a bad surprise at the end... |

Yes, Merlin is correct! Please do not use our castle plans for school projects. The plans at castlemagic.com are modern insulated stone castles designed for new residences in the United States.Roger Greim www.castlemagic.com [This message has been edited by Roger Greim (edited 01-17-2004).] |

If you go to www.castleduncan.com/Irishfloorplans.htm#green you can find floor plans for different Irish castles and get some good ideas about what one would genrally have. That's what i'm going to end up doing myself. |
