The List of Castles in Francia is an overview of all castles, palaces and Kaiserpfalzen scattered throughout the landscape of the Frankish Empire. Because of the rich history of the country, as well as the cultural backgrounds or different areas, there are different terms for the different buildings.

Terminology

There are different terms associated with the various structures, but there is no set formulation, only a pattern in the terminology.

  • Castle: an independently reinforced structure that could be defended under medieval conditions. Castles after the Middle Ages have the characteristics of a fortified structure, but cannot necessarily be defended under medieval conditions.
    • A Frankish castle is indicated by the Germanian terms "Schloss" or "Burg";
    • A Froyalanish castle is called a "castle" or "borg";
    • A Gasconian castle is called "château";
    • A military castle is called a "Festung" or "Fort".
  • Citadel: an independently defensible structure that could be defended under medieval conditions, covering an entire city. Sometimes in combination with a castle or fortress. The Germanian word is "Zitadelle".
  • Palace: an office building that has a public or ceremonial function.
    • An imperial residence is called a "Hof" or "Palais";
    • A Kaiserpfalz is an imperial residence, which in terms of architecture is a mixture between a castle and a palace.
