If proper real estate were available, the castle could be recreated using many modern tools, techniques and materials. A 2013 estimate for this project would be $235 Million. But... There are other considerations such as insurance, unions, environmental, local, state, and federal organizations that will have a say through out the project surely adding a bit to the estimate. So... A projected 5-7 year build will now take nearly 10 and costs will rise. Therefore I estimate, all said and done, keys in your hand, conservative estimate of $579 Million USD. But you better plan on $800 - 950 Million in 2023 dollars.
you would need about 99 people to build a castle.

King Ludwig of Bavaria built the castle, but didn't really live in it long before he downed in the lake below the castle. Historians today aren't sure if he committed suicide or it was murder. It is a big empty place today. His summer palace down the road has his things in it, including a man made grotto where he sat in a swan boat in an artificial lake to listened to music by Wagner. There is a dining room the castle that is fully mirrored and the table would be brought up fully laden with food through a trapdoor in the floor.
a long time!!

Norman castles were built by the Normans following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. They were typically constructed using motte-and-bailey design, featuring a wooden or stone keep on top of a raised earthwork (motte) with an enclosed courtyard (bailey) below. Norman castles played a key role in establishing Norman control over England and Wales, influencing the architectural landscape of the region.

Although there are no specific records of a Blacksmith being present that I can find, I'm sure there was. The castle was built in the late 1860's & 70's when most smaller ironwork was was done by hand, and it was before the came automobile along. Who else would doit other than a Blacksmith/Farrier?
