Among all those Adjectives I find these ruins beautiful. There are many to be found as a result of either the reformation or the civil war among other things. 
I find them all to be beautiful.......almost the more ruined the better. 
Une forteresse magnifique ?

 Castles in ruins are so evocating of a dark and bright past story... You may sit and dream, ... Impossible to dream at Trafalgar square, or Place de la Concorde
 in Paris  ...intra muros! I have a special passion for the french Cathar castles, called "citadelles du vertige"...A unic strenghenned site in Europ.
