Welcome to our weekend property digest, where we bring together the best houses for sale (or rent) that we’ve unearthed across the world. This week, we bring you a Game of Thrones castle and a minimalist Berlin loft carved out of a supermarket.

The real-life Riverrun Castle in County Armagh, Northern Ireland Via Maison Real Estate
Sleeps 2; $9,000
Gosford Castle starred as the seat of House Tully in HBO’s blockbuster fantasy series – and it’s currently on the market for a modest £500,000. Or should we say, a slice of it is. A wing of the castle is available as an ‘investment opportunity’ and will be converted into six 3,500 sq ft apartments.

10 bedrooms; €3.6m via Portugal Sotheby’s International Realty
Set over 19,805 sq ft; this 17th-century country house in the suburbs of Lisbon unravels around a monumental stone staircase and grand hall. Rooms feature ornate frescoes on its walls and ceilings done in a Baroque style, though the property itself is a bit of an architectural mash-up that underwent a ‘restyle’ in the early 1900s. It’s in good condition – and its size means it could be an intriguing adaptive reuse project.
