You can get castles (_châteaux_) cheap in France. But then you realize that you have to renovate them according to the local architecture regulations, often with artisanal materials (the roof for instance). I know a couple friends from Germany who inherited a castle and did not refuse the inheritage when they could . They were desperate when they realized how expensive this is.
