Texas is not the first place that comes to mind when you think of Medieval-style castles. But there are scores of these impressive buildings you can visit near major cities. And they make a great weekend getaway! Texas castles have their own unique architecture and historic flair. I've stayed in some, enjoyed wine tasting in others and look forward to watching new ones get built in the future!
