We just learned about the Kilkenny Castle.
Another famous castle is the Chillon Castle, built in Veytaux Switzerland in 1005 AD.
It is built on a small island, right on the edge of Lake Geneva.
When it was first made, it was built to defend some of the valleys and roads in the area, but later on was used as a prison for some famous people.
The prince's castle in the Disney movie The Little Mermaid was made to look like this castle.
