But now, having been bombarded with shells, set on fire and left to rot, these castles are looking a little worse for wear.
This fascinating series of photographs includes UK ruins such as Old Wardour Castle in Wiltshire, Crichton Castle in Scotland and Kinbane Castle in County Antrim.
And European edifices such as Xixona Castle in Alicante and Birkenfels Castle in Alsace.
They may not be looking so grand today, but they're still utterly intriguing - time-capsule buildings that offer glimpses into by-gone ages.
Scroll down and behold the haunting pictures.
