What is my Family's Castle?

Question

My Surname is Baehler. But I was wondering if our family has a Castle, Temple, Pyramid etc. Please Help!!

Answer 1

Your ancestor might have built one, but without knowing which men named Baehler were your ancestors, we can't tell if he was in your family or not.

Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press

(Via Ancestry) says:

Baehler Name Meaning and History

habitational name for someone from a place called Bahlen, of which there are several examples in northern Germany.

So, your ancestor may have been the lord of one of those towns, with a castle and stables, or a baker / brewer / tailor / cook / cobbler in the village below, or the fellow with the shovel who cleaned up the stables

They add: variant spelling of Behler or Böhler (see Boehler).
