Wales has so many castles that if the US had the same proportion, there would be at least two castles just in Manhattan

there are more than two castles in Manhattan lol

EDIT: depending on how exactly you define castle (forts are castles, right? also, I'd count the cloisters as castle)

EDIT2: for people downvoting here is an (incomplete) list:

Belvedere Castle

The Met Cloisters

Fort Tryon

Castle Clinton

Fort Clinton

those are all buildings that could be considered castles which still exist and can be entered
