How much does it cost to build a castle?
$325 and up per sq ft. In general, for a castle, about twice what a normal house would cost. As with the time it takes to build a castle, most of the same factors can affect the cost of a castle. The remoteness of the site, the weather, the supply and cost of materials and labor, the cost and time for building permits, and the selection of materials used can all affect the cost of your castle. Don’t forget to add in the cost of the land while building your castle. During the past 30 years, we have observed government regulations on building escalate from simple fees and helpful inspections to one as a big source of revenue for local and state governments. This can now have a dramatic effect on the cost of your castle. If you are on a tight budget, head for one of the few remaining locations where government fees are lower.
