-This is the new home of Jcastle info.  It is still under development but all the castles and castle photos have been migrated. You can mostly use this site as you would have the original Jcastle.info. Here is a rough plan for the upcoming enhancements. There are still many dead links and display problems I will also slowly correct as I work.
