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.
