More than half of the world like dome structure. Is that Islamic architecture?
There are many beautiful castles and palaces in Europe, it's difficult to post all.
Some buidings in Europe look like castles or palaces too.
E.g. Cambridge, Oxford are universities which are more beautiful than castles.


Thus, it loses much time to post European castles. There are a lot.
