The castles you describe are ones built not in the middle ages, but castle-like chateau from the 19th century, built during the period of romanticism and neo-gothic style.
From a architectonic view, they are considered an example of kitsch, almost as tasteless as the castle in disneyland.
An example is Neuschweinstein in Germany.

I know that I am not necessarily answering your question but I must say this since you taking your kids to see castles. You should try to visit King Ludwig’s castle in Switzerland! One of most beautiful!
