Robert Carney's castle site. He has done some really impressive models of real
castles, including the Chateau de Chillon:

Perhaps this link will help you with ideas for your own version of this
impressive structure. From Dr. Carney's FAQ, a lot (20k+ grey pieces alone
(!!)) of grey brick packs and red roof packs, would be in order. Or more
castles than I'd care to dream of from a monetary standpoint...
(Someone please smack me around a little if I've breeched proper protocol in
any way by posting as I have. If so, it was done purely unawares and only with
best possible intentions.)
