History
Originally, when it was built it was known as Castle Sabbat that was made by the ruling Baron with underground tunnels that he intended to use to allow himself and his family to escape into the mountains. For centuries, it was the seat of power in Latveria with it being ruled over by the Fortunov Family that was part of the aristocracy in the country. (X-Force v1 #63)
After the disappearance of Doom, the U.N. claimed jurisdiction of the castle with S.H.I.E.L.D. attempting to stop anyone from attempting to break into it. (X-Force v1 #63)
Following the Venom virus release, the Mighty Avengers traced the launch to the Riga satellite that belonged to Doctor Doom. This led to the superhero team crossing the Latverian border and attacking Castle Doom itself with an army of Doombots attempting to protect it from the invaders. (Mighty Avengers v1 #9) Despite his use of magic, Doom was defeated leading to his arrest by S.H.I.E.L.D. for crimes against humanity and his castle being boxed up. (Mighty Avengers v1 #11)
During the Dark Reign, Doctor Doom was freed and allowed to return to his country where he arrived at the site of the destroyed Castle Doom with him having an armed escort. They later came under attack from Morgan le Fay who wanted revenge against the Latverian ruler. In response, the Dark Avengers under Norman Osborn arrived to battle the Arthurian era sorceress. (Dark Avengers v1 #2) After le Fay's defeat, the Dark Avengers departed and Osborn hid all involvement they had at the scene. Once they departed, Doctor Doom used a Timecube to restore Castle Doom from the destruction caused to it by Iron Man and Nick Fury thus restoring his home to its complete state. (Dark Avengers v1 #4)
