several reasons
they are protected as monuments so you cant tear down anything without lenghty processes
you cant cheaply repair shit cause you need to protect the monument, meaning very costly restoration.
bad insulation costly on the energy side.
in worst cases there is public interest meaning you bought something and the public can dictate parts of how you use it

IDK about Germany, but in France, there are a whole lot of rules governing what you can do with those big old chateaus. Like, if you want to restore one, it has to be done with the same materials and methods, you can't modify anything, everything consequently costs a gorillion dollars and the end result is you live in a drafty old shack with hardly any outlets or climate control, no insulation, single-pane windows, etc.

Read what these guys did and you'll see it's a barrel of fuck.

Well, wouldn't it still at least be better than the price it'd cost to heat without getting shitcoins out of it? You may still be at a net loss, but your shit coins would offset it to a degree. Not to mention the fact that Bitcoin is going to be $36k in January, so there's really no way to lose money on mining unless you sell when it bottoms out at $4k.

there are laws that forbids you to alter properties that are 400+ years old...

if you do the government will sue your butt off and force you to restore it into the former state (at your own expense)

Maybe the village is isolated or dying. Maybe something is very wrong in the area. Maybe is just an initial price and once the seller has few buyers he will move it up. Or maybe the whole thing is about to fall apart. That price in normal conditions makes no sense.

I don't get what your problem is. I'm not saying it's a profitable endeavor, just a way to save a couple bucks. Do you think it'd be better to heat the castle with timber (or maybe gas or electricity, I dunno how modern these things are in the inside) and just pay full price for the heat?

Bullshit.

It's in the middle of nowhere, 100km from Nurembug. Heating and upkeep is fucking expensive. It's way too big for a family. It's in Bavaria. It's protected as a public monument, so you cannot alter anything of substance, at least on the outside. No building a garage, no building a winter-garden or a pool or even bigger windows.

It's definitely not a castle we're talking about here, but my dads extended family is currently playing Old Maid with their old farm. The last real estate agent who came around basically refused to step inside fearing the shithovel will collapse on him and the ground and wells around it are fubar thanks to all the agricultural chemicals. They thought for a second they had one grandchild of my generation take the whole shebang on her, but now apparently the-uncle-who-gets-invited-to-family-meetings took the deal to court and wants a piece of the "property". I for myself won't take a piss at the issue as long as their boomer generation gets it off my potential nuts.
