You might recognize the stoney estate as the backdrop of the infamous Red Wedding, and the castle was also used for the scene of the execution of Rickard Karstark. But before its 15 minutes of fame, the castle was built by London architect Thomas Hopper in the mid-1800s in the Norman Revival style. The castle was home to the Earls of Gosford until 1921 and served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II. Now, if you can pony up at least £500,000 (or around $650,000), you can purchase a section of the castle, which has been split into six apartments with an average size of 3,500 square feet. In total, the portion of the castle for sale includes 15 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and 10 receptions rooms replete with original detailing (but no heat or A/C).
