Hi,
Thank you for bringing up the question actually !
In fact, my uncle is a castle anthropologist famous for his researches. According to his last study - which btw has been published in the Harvad Castle's Review - there are over 55'867'001 Castles (or 55 Mio) on the globe. This number is based on robust facts, after thorough research on the subject.
Have a nice week,
the Knight of Hospitaller

∙ 11y agoAcross the whole of Europe there are many thousands. I doubt anybody has ever counted them all.
Very few are inhabited, and those that are inhabited have been largely rebuilt so that very little of the original castle survives. Many that do survive are partially in ruins.
I suggest you check the Wikipedia article 'List of castles
', which links to a list for each country. For Germany there is a list per state, which is subdivided by county, and some counties have more than 70 castles!
Also: 'Maps of castles in England by county
'.
