Welcome!
If you love history (and especially castles) then you've come to the right place!
We produce beautiful DVDs of historic sites. We have already released Middleham: A Castle Made for Kings and another double feature DVD on Sandal Castle. We're currently working on Conwy Castle, in Wales. Since every film includes a full computer reconstruction of each castle, this site shows some of the work involved with lots and lots of pictures! So welcome, enjoy yourself and don't forget to visit the Shop on your way out.

Reconstruction Galleries
See the castles of Middleham, Sandal, Houdan, Etampes and Conwy restored to their historical glory! Click on the picture to reach the Reconstruction Gallery or visit the Reconstruction Directories.
Castle Photos
Every castle reconstruction requires a tremendous amount of research, most of which involves site visits and - in the long-term - thousands of reference photos. In these pages we share some of the best. If you have a favourite castle and want to see it on this site, you can visit Your Photo Gallery and upload your best castle images.
Heritage Image Gallery
We come in a long line of castle artists. The ones in the past looked at the same castles but in various states of ruin. Sometimes the castles look better today than they did 200 years ago, through the preservation efforts of the bodies who look after them. In Heritage we display some of the antique images in our collection - engravings, paintings, postcards and even old photographs.
If pictures don't interest you as much as words, then you might be pleased to find our research book list. It doesn't yet qualify as comprehensive but it's a start!
Lost in History
We have essays on interesting aspects of history at the Lost in History journal.
We have interviews with people who work in history at Lost for Words.
We focus on the search for the mortal remains of King Richard III at Lost in Time.
Shop
Lost in Castles produces DVDs and CDs on people & places of historical interest. Our products are available directly through our Shop. These products provide the only revenue for the work that we do, so if you find this site useful, please show your support so we can continue our work.
What we do is unique. Our castle reconstructions are detailed, thorough and further the understanding of castles. Middleham, Sandal, Conwy, Etampes and Houdan are just the beginning. You can sponsor a castle reconstruction or commission one. Please contact for more information.
