Yes, that’s why it’s a wealth redistribution method. You have to employ people just to be able to live in your castle comfortably. And then pay taxes on those people’s salaries.
Farming isn’t super profitable unless very large scale and I doubt most castles are being sold or given away with huge amounts of arable land. If they are, that’s going to be part of the price.
It’s basically never a good deal financially to live in a castle. It’s something you do for your ego alone lol
Pay for it in cash, hire enough staff to maintain it like a true manor lord.
Yet another nice thing that’s reserved only for the rich…
Honestly this one is a wealth transfer method because it doesn’t bring in shit and the upkeep is a bitch
That’s why you pay people to do the upkeep. Cause you’re probably already rich if you bought a castle.
And it can bring shit in if you use the land to generate revenue. Paying people to work it for you, of course. Cause that’s what manor lords do…
