As we saw in a recent Bootsnall feature, many of the world’s most beautiful castles are in Europe.Turret and moat lovers needn’t despair, because unique castles that arejust as gorgeous as their European counterparts can be found throughoutthe world. Here are some really beautiful castles that are not inEurope.
Krak des Chevaliers – Syria
A gorgeous limestone fortress built between the mid-12th and late 13thcenturies, the Krak des Chevaliers is a true gem here in rural westernSyria. Given the many different tribes and cultures that have mixedthroughout the ages in this part of the world, it is no surprise thecastle is heavily fortified with massive outer walls and deep moats.The interiors are far less imposing and feature attractive gothiccolonnades with Latin inscriptions, winding corridors, and a tinyRomanesque chapel which was converted into a mosque in the early 1700s.You can easily reach the castle via a day trip from Hama, Homs, orTartus.

The rooms in the hotel are all differentshapes and sizes, but each retains furnishings true to the originalstyle including elegant marble bathrooms and high-end regalfurnishings.

Hearst Castle – United States
Surprisingly, there are literally hundreds of castle-like buildings inAmerica, making it difficult to choose unless you’re interested in aspecific region. Hearst Castle, halfway between San Francisco and LosAngeles on the California coast, is certainly one of the best. Perchedatop a hill, it has unparalleled sea views and the location providedthe Hearst family with much privacy. The castle highlight is theNeptune Pool, a swimming pool that was rebuilt three times to suitWilliam Hearst’s taste; the ancient Roman temple next to it is not areplica but was instead bought in Italy and shipped to California. Thecastle has an incredible 56 bedrooms and 61 bathrooms, not to mentionthe world’s largest private zoo, airstrip, and movie theater. Theestate’s elaborate building plan was slowed by Hearst’s exactingstandards, and he died before the castle complex was finished.
