Fidler’s castle

A UK man who secretly built a castle by hiding it with bales of hay has been ordered to tear it down.

To keep prying eyes from noticing his unauthorized abode, Fidler placed bales of hay and tarpaulin around his dream home in Salfords, Surrey, authorities said. The court ruled he could not benefit from his deception.

Authorities said he incorporated two grain silos into the design, covering them with material to give them a castellated appearance.
