This castle is incredible! I love the stonework. The roof and windows are terrific. The detailed interior and its surprises are great. Amazing job.

I would love to see more castles like this. Huge castle's are nice and all, but the details can be hard to see sometimes.

I love this, from the more simple design, the the overall compactness of it.

I love this too. This even wouldn't look too out of place on my layout since it doesn't have too much embellishment of the walls and the size is fine, though most of my castles are bigger.
