Castles In Podkarpackie Voivodeship
A castle is a type of fortification, fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by the nobility or royalty and by Military order (monastic society), military orders. Scholars debate the scope of the word ''castle'', but usually consider it to be the private fortified house, fortified residence of a lord or noble.

A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room.
