Colorado, San Isabel National Forest - the heart of what many call Cowboy Country. Yet stray of the beaten path and you come across Bishop castle - a 160-foot high structure that weighs in at an estimated 50 thousand tons.
Incredibly, it is the work of a single man - Jim Bishop. Strangely though, if you are a tourist to the state, you will not find a mention of Bishop Castle on any official brochure.

I am not sure the builder totally understood what constitutes medieval architecture, what you have there is a stone clad mosque.
Mosque?
It's just a sort of free form stone building. I've never seen a mosque like that - unless Rather(Un)Amusing thing thinks that that vaguely minaret shaped part makes it a mosque. It certainly doesn't resemble a castle - it's about as impregnable as a gazebo. It is, however, quite an impressive endeavour.
