The Richthofen Castle, an iconic relic of Denver history, is under contract for sale.

If the deal closes, it will mark the end of 14 years of on-and-off-again efforts to sell the 35-room estate that was built by the uncle of Baron Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron flying ace of World War I.

Baron Walter von Richthofen, a Prussian immigrant turned Colorado mining baron, conceived the idea for the limestone castle in the 1870s and finished it in 1887.

What are the most impressive or interesting homes you can think of?
