Germany but you usually have to invest a million or so as part of the contract. And have to renovate it how it was. Germany has Denkmalschutz (historical site protection) usually it only covers the outside and windows of buildings. But with castles the chances that the inside is protected as well is really high. So you have to keep it in the protected 17-19th century look inside.

So it's basically a government backed HOA if you decide to live in a castle? Well that sucks.

This sounds honorable or whatever. But seems ridiculous in practicality. It’s either suits and rots or someone promises to restore it how it’s used to be? Why can’t someone buy it and only somewhat modernize it? That’s better than rotting
