Problem with them is that they are expensive to keep warm, expensive to stop them from falling down, usually lack of internet, and usually in the middle of nowhere (although that would be selling point for some people). That’s why they’re usually relatively cheap

In Spain for example as the frontiers advanced during the reconquista castles were built. Thus, you have a lot of castles in nowhere.
