With the highly anticipated release of the trailer for season seven of “Game of Thrones,” it’s the perfect time to revisit one of our favourite themes for Checking in: castles.

In this week’s iteration, we highlight three new fortifications: a medieval castle in Italy, a luxurious chateau in France and a formerly abandoned castle in Scotland.

The first Checking in highlighting castles can be found here.
