Our approach

Check, document, pass on

The sources behind each page are checked by people. Artificial intelligence helps us cross-check several sources at once, to stay as close to reality as possible.

Castles also get in touch with us to correct a mistake or clarify a detail: every message makes the site richer.

  1. Gathering sources
  2. Cross-checking and analysis
  3. Human validation
  4. Gradual publication

Our goal: for history to live on through the ages, so that we never forget the history of our countries, nor the history that shaped these magical places.
