A farmer built a castle in complete secret because he didn't want to get a building permit!

A farmer in England hid the castle he built for four years. He didn't get planning permission to build the castle and used hay bales and tarps to keep the castle hidden during construction and even after he, his wife, and their son moved into it.

It is a beautiful four bedroom castle with ramparts, turrets, and a cannon. After four years, he finally revealed the home and tried to get it approved to be there. Unfortunately the government was none too pleased with his secrecy and he's been ordered by the courts to demolish the castle.

He refuses to let them demolish his home, though. He plans on taking the ruling to the appellate court and onto the supreme courts of England if he has to to save his castle. As of 2013, he's lost every battle and is running out of room to appeal. Things aren't looking good for this castle.
