Best Castles of ASOIAF / GAME OF THRONES

A ranking of George RR Martin's strongholds. Looking to judge and score the castles in totality. Their short and long term defensibility, strategic value and their attractiveness as homes.

Riverrun is my favorite castle

[@Aegar_Targaryen]

Highgarden and Red Keep is my favourite

[@King_Orfeo]

Great video mate. Riverrun is my personal choice if I had to live anywhere in Westeros

BROOOO how is the eyrie so far down ;-; it has so many gates before u can even seen it, even if u wanna attack it u can at most bring 10 men and it has perfect storage to survive a siege

Defensively, it is definitely the best castle, but its strategic worth seems pretty useless. A day’s climbing to get to it leaves it as more or a picturesque panic room than a multifaceted castle

[@DJHumla]

Sieges was more of a waiting game than an actual fight. The Eyrie is hopelessly designed when it comes to sieges. All the attackers need to do is wait at the base of the mountain aka: the ONLY way for food to get up. The attackers can live of the land which belongs to the Eyrie while the people up top starve to death. After some months (a relativly short while in terms of sieges) the very small food storages are empty and all those defences are worthless.

The High Tower needs to rank MUCH higher.

[@butbagthecat1125]

If its rating as a home had been higher (which is fairly subjective), it could certainly have overtaken Storm's End and maybe drawn with Riverrun.
