Castle Sites for Younger Visitors

These websites are particularly good for getting younger visitors interested in castles. Sometimes interactive and always geared for the beginner, they're fun for adults, too.

Build a Medieval Castle

Download free educational software for Windows 3.1 or 95/98 and print out the pieces you need to build your own castle. Online printable instructions include background info on castles. Nice project to get kids thinking.

The Kids' Castle

Graphic-intensive, nicely interactive site offers introductory info on the parts of a medieval castle and the events that took place there. Sponsored by experían and hosted by Kids on the Net.
