Am wondering if any famous castles or towers were built in the period between 1000 AD and 1300Ad (high middle ages/crusades) that were later taken down or destroyed during the period between 1300 and 1500(late middle ages) and were then rebuilt during say the period of 1500-1854 I ask as a history project i am doing work of friedrich nietzches philosophy of eternal reaccurence ie occupy movement and the french revolution(obama admistration and king louis XVII and Marie Antoinette),The cold war and crusades,Enlightenment/Reformation and Classical antiquity,roman empire and American Empire,HIV and the Black Death,medieval inquistion and communist hearings and so on. ---

The only one that comes to mind is Eileen Donan Castle in Scotland - but it’s way out of that time range. It was destroyed in the aftermath of the Jacobean rebellion (1715?) and rebuilt in the early 1900’s.
