To do

There is already a list of articles about houses to be created at:

There are many interesting historic houses in Denmark which still need to be covered. These include (see Danish wiki):

Tirsbæk, Tranekær Slot

  • List of palaces and manor houses in Estonia gathers a lot of historic houses in Estonia, but could be further expanded. Most of the articles on the list are stub or start-class, and expansions would be welcome.
  • List of castles and palaces in Sweden gathers most historic houses in Sweden. Again, a lot of them are stubs or start-class. Furthermore, most of them are called "x Castle", after the Swedish word "slott", which can signify everything from a smallish manor to a large fortress. A very good start for many of them would be to re-name and move the article. In addition, here are a sample of articles on historic houses in Sweden that need attention and expansion, or creation:
