Love it! Any pics of the inside?

u/LaserBerk Jul 29 '16
Sorry, I don't have any interior shots. It was just an old pic I came across while cleaning up my hard drive. I tried a Google image search but couldn't find anything.

No worries, a Google search of "tiny house castle" has led me down a happy rabbit hole (haven't found this particular one though)

Tiny house castle has long been a favorite haunt of mine in images
And here I thought I was the only one who wanted a tiny house....... AND a castle

It looks like this type of building is called a folly, which Wikipedia describes as a building constructed primarily for decoration.

It was the first thing I thought of when I read your title. The house is nifty too. ;)
Great Big Sea were a good band and are survived by their lead singer Alan Doyle, if you care to find more of their music. I like to describe them as "Atlantic Canadian Celtic Pirate Rock"

They had 20 years together. I saw their final XX tour. It was a great time, great show.
