Castles, Manor Houses Going Cheap

For sale: one of Prussia's grandest houses, 44 rooms, panoramic view, chapel, torture chamber -- going cheap. When the former East Germany was under Communist rule, maintenance of buildings never seemed to be a high priority. As a result, many of the stately homes were left to decay and now dozens of them, which are owned by cash-strapped state and local governments, are being sold at bargain prices from about $2 million or even $100,000, the London Telegraph reports. The catch is they all need a lot of work and a truckload of money. A castle going for $1 million may need another $8 million to get it into shape.
