Little help finding a Castle

[ThatGuyThere]

Hello, all!

I have the cast, I have the crew; I have the ELs and CRs and mechanics and what-not...

...what I don't have is the stage.

I'm looking for a castle. I'm not much of a mapper myself, so I'm looking for a map of the interior of a castle. I've already got some of the outlying buildings, I know the terrain I'm going to put it on, etc, etc - I just need a decent map of a catle itself, that makes sense and it consistant with known laws of physics and design.

And I'm willing to pay for it - and / or other, reasonable maps of a similar type (other castles, structures like prisons and taverns, etc). Not, like, in the thousands of dollars, but a good map pack would be worth money to me.

Anybody have any suggestions?

What type of Castle are you looking for, the classic stone and mortar type or something totally different?

Cheers,

And if you're looking for real world inspiration, try http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=castle+map&gbv=2

Its a mix of real castles and ones from video games, as near as I can tell. Like:

Exactly!

... 'cept, moreso.

Just like those one-sheets from the back of Dungeon, or the Map-Of-The-Week stuff, any castle map with reasonably realistic features - that is, door, entryway, armory, rooms for servants, rooms for masters, art halls, conservatories...

I can easily just draw lines on a page, but that isn't the same as a "map of a castle", if you see what I mean. Making sure there's room for everyone to sleep / eat / bathe... That sort of thing...

Here is a good castle for sale up in New England. It will only set you back about $15 million (apparently a steal). Why settle for a map?
