Does Edinburgh Castle have a moat or a dungeon?

Edinburgh once had a moat, which is now called "Princes Street Gardens". The moat was used as a dumping ground for sewerage in the city, not limited to human sewerage and blood and guts from the butchers. This was also used as the city's water supply (yes, really). There were wells around the city, though they were equally in danger of developing cholera from the drinking wells.

How much would it cost to build neuschwanstein castle today?

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.

What is a shell keep castle?

The Shell Keep Castle. After the Year 1100 another change in the way castles were designed took place. The old square keeps were not so good because it was easy to dig underneath the corners of the keep and make it fall down. Instead they started to build castles with one set of round walls. These were good because the soldiers could see all around and also the castles were harder to knock down. The one weak spot was the gateway - so gatehouses were made very strong with towers on each side and a drawbridge. They sometimes had a portcullis which was a massive wooden grating that could be slid up and down. Restormel Castle is a Norman stone ringwork and bailey fortress and was the home to Edward, the Black Prince. The huge circular shell keep has a complete ring of buildings inside and is encased by a deep ditch. Hope you have a nice day!!!
