Does this sentence imply that all castles were romanticised are not true castles or that castles that were romanticised are not true castles?

“Castles were also romanticised in Europe, they were not a true typical castle”

@Dodger123,
The first implication is a paradox.

The second implication makes more sense.

In the nineteenth century there was an aesthetic trend called castle romanticism in which castles--which were utilitarian and mundane structures--were rebuilt or renovated to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Palaces were built along these lines and were called "castles."

Castles went from looking like this:
