It's even worse if you look at the satellite picture. The castle is not even centered in the outside perimeter walls and the outside walls aren't square. Someone hired the medieval equivalent of a shitty contractor.

Symmetry and aesthetic spacing were not on their list at all

I'd be ok with it being off-center, I could add like a backyard lounge/skeet feature to balance it out. but THE FUCKIN DRIVEWAY IS SIDEWAYS! Makes me so irrationally angry lmao probably took them like 5 years to and 7 serfs lives to build it too. I'd be so embarrassed in front of all my other royal friends.
