Definisjon av slott?

[African Herb Mon]

...lurer jeg på!

Hva gjør et slott til et slott? Grunnen til at jeg spør er at jeg bor i
Dunedin, New Zealand. Rett borti høgget her er det et slott. Larnach Castle.
De markedsfører seg som det eneste (eller et av to, husker ikke) slottet på
den sørlige halvkule.

Det er ikke noen klar avgrensning på hva som er slott eller ikke.
Ordet kommer fra det latinske Castellum som betyr fort.

"a large strong building, built in the past by a ruler or important person
to protect the people inside from attack"

Fra www.caplex.no/ slott (av ty. Schloss, avledet av geschlossen,
lukket), representativ bygning for fyrste, oppr. befestet. Tilsvarende
bet. er palass, som på no. bare brukes om slottslignende bygninger i
bymessig miljø.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle

The Castle (from the Latin castellum, diminutive of castra), is a fort,
a camp and the logical development of a Fortified enclosure. However a
number of large Chateau-like mansions are also called castles.

A castle is a small self-contained fortress, usually of the middle ages,
though the term is sometimes used of prehistoric earthworks ...

Også relevant (fra caplex):

borg:
befestet bolig el. tilfluktssted, ofte oppført på utilgjengelige steder
som var lette å forsvare. Middelalderens b. var gjerne en
stormannsbolig befestet med en tårnbesatt ringmur med skyttergang,
porttårn med fallgitter og vindebro over en oftest vannfylt vollgrav.

Jeg kommer litt sent inn i tråden, men Dictionary.com (multioppslag i
flere ordbøker) sier blant annet dette (irrelevante oppslag er fjernet)

castle

\Cas"tle\, n. [AS. castel, fr. L. castellum, dim. of castrum a fortified
place, castle.] 1. A fortified residence, especially that of a prince or
nobleman; a fortress.

The house of every one is to him castle and fortress, as well for his
defense againts injury and violence, as for his repose. --Coke.

Our castle's strength Will laugh a siege to scorn. --Shak.

Note: Originally the medi[ae]val castle was a single strong tower or
keep, with a palisaded inclosure around it and inferior buidings, such
as stables and the like, and surrounded by a moat; then such a keep or
donjon, with courtyards or baileys and accessory buildings of greater
elaboration a great hall and a chapel, all surrounded by defensive walls
and a moat, with a drawbridge, etc. Afterwards the name was retained by
large dwellings that had formerly been fortresses, or by those which
replaced ancient fortresses.

castle

a military fortress (1 Chr. 11:7), also probably a kind of tower used by
the priests for making known anything discovered at a distance (1 Chr.
6:54). Castles are also mentioned (Gen. 25:16) as a kind of watch-tower,
from which shepherds kept watch over their flocks by night. The "castle"
into which the chief captain commanded Paul to be brought was the
quarters of the Roman soldiers in the fortress of Antonia (so called by
Herod after his patron Mark Antony), which was close to the north-west
corner of the temple (Acts 21:34), which it commanded.
