The short answer: Almost nowhere with any kind of building code (see USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and most other developed nations), and it would cost a LOT.
The long answer: You don't have many options. If you own land that is outside of the jurisdiction of any building codes (as the previous poster suggested, a private island, or perhaps some third-world nations), or if you build a house to look like a castle, but which conforms to building codes...those are the only feasible options. Either way, it would cost you at least a million (for the stylized house option), but easily into the tens of millions.

It would be legal anywhere that the zoning permits it, and on land that you own or lease and have permission to build on.
Cost would be anything from say, 1/2 million and up, maybe? You could do a basic McMansion with a brick exterior, and add a few turrets or crennels to make it resemble a castle. Or you could hire old-style stone masons to build an actual castle made out of cut stone, assuming that the zoning board approves your plans. I wouldn't even want to guess at the price - well north of one million dollars, I'm sure. If you want any size to it, or an enclosed, paved courtyard, you'll pay a whole lot more.

It would be legal just about anywhere. I estimate it would cost a good 15 million dollars to build a decent castle.

On your own private island.
