Is it right to say "This castle is newer" instead of more modern.
And what about a newer house and a newer building?

Difference between new and modern #2 (permalink) Fri Apr 08, 2005 16:05 pm   Difference between new and modern		  
The adjective new refers to the age of something whereas modern describes the style, fashion or technology of something. So, a castle could be newer but less modern than another one.
