Guess where this is?

[Jammrock]

HAHAHAHA!!! I was wondering if I would catch people doing that. I named it Castle in the Sky to throw you off! BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

The Castle AARRRGGGHHHHH is wrong because that's in Scottland, and Scottland is wrong, too. Which makes no sense.

Castle Anthrax?

[KvHagedorn]

That looks Moorish to me.. is this in Spain?

[Jammrock]

All wrong. Not Spain. Europe is correct. Scottland was closer to correct than Spain...

My first question is where is red sandstone common? My first answer was Loch Torridon, but you say it's not Scottish.

Next one down is Devon, but I'm damned if I know of a castle like that in Devon. Thought of neighbouring counties such as Gloucestershire and Cornwall, no luck! Yet the church tower in the background looks quite typically English.

Then I remembered that Carlisle and Penrith castles, in Cumbria, are in red sandstone, but neither of these fill the bill, either, nor any others I can remember in that county.

I'll probably kick myself when I find out where it is.

Looks a lot like the Moorish castle at Gibraltar. I wonder if some Viking wanderer was inspired by it.

I was waiting for a Dansker to come and post that Correct!

Hammerhus is the largest castle ruins in Europe. An old Danish king had to abandon the castle because of money reason. After the castle had gone unused for many years, the farmers started taking stone and brick from the castle to build houses, barns and walls. By the time any royalty could afford to re-occupy the castle it had been so dismantled by the locals that they left it as ruined.

Fun trivia fact for ya'll.
