Mel Gibson’s fairytale Malibu castle is looking for a new king. The actor — who welcomed his ninth child, son Lars, in January — has listed his palatial pad with Compass agents Britt Elizondo and Damon Skelton for $17.5 million, according to Trulia. Two pools, a detached guest house and a gym certainly make it appropriate for the modern family, but the design of the 5-bed, 4.5-bath estate channels some major Braveheart vibes.

The foyer of the 6,578-square-foot house looks like it was ripped straight from a European manor, with soaring ceilings, wood beams and dramatic iron chandeliers.

The listing also includes a separate guest house and access to a private beach and tennis club.
