The story

A royal castle rises proudly between two tall cliffs. Its stone walls have withstood many storms and attacks. From afar, the fortress appears impregnable, surrounded as it is by rocky slopes on all sides. Its flags flutter in the wind, a symbol of power and protection. Deep forests and narrow paths, travelled only by brave wanderers and merchants, stretch around the castle.

Within these walls, life at the royal court unfolds. The king has just returned from hunting in the forest, riding his white horse. At his side is his loyal chamberlain, carrying the hunting spoils and weapons. The queen was already waiting at the gate to joyfully welcome her husband.

On the battlements, archers keep watch, constantly scanning their surroundings from their towers. Everything seemed peaceful, yet in the distance two enemy soldiers crept silently through the bushes beneath the hill. They approached the walls to observe the defences from a safe distance, unaware that the archers had already spotted their shadows...

About model
This detailed, expansive castle model has many play features. You can open the entire castle to reveal the dungeon carved into the rock and the dark oubliette, where prisoners are held. You can also look into the stables to see the royal horses or the royal couple's home. A secret door in the royal couple's home leads to a hidden cave chamber where royal treasures such as a chest full of gold coins, precious stones, or golden armour are stored. Be sure to explore the main tower, where soldiers can rest after long watches or where the armoury is kept. The fully accessible main gate to the outer bailey is naturally included, along with a portcullis that can be raised using a lifting mechanism.

The model is inspired by my favourite castle in my country, called 'Trosky'. Although it is now in ruins, it is still very popular.

Included 13 minifigures: the King, the Queen, the Chamberlain, 6 Soldiers, a Stablehand, a Prisoner, and 2 Enemy Soldiers.
