The old king rode through the gates of the Castle of the Mountain Kingdom , his horse’s hooves echoing against the stone as the twilight painted the peaks blue. Inside, the knight stood guard over the dungeon, where a notorious bandit languished in chains, captured days earlier by the kingdom’s sharp-eyed archeress. The bandit had stolen the king’s crown during a moonlit raid, vanishing into the forest like a shadow, but the archeress had tracked him down and brought him to justice—though the crown itself remained missing, hidden somewhere in the wilderness. Nearby, the smith hammered a glowing axe, its edge destined to defend the castle, while a lutenist played a haunting tune in the courtyard, captivating a wide-eyed kid and his scruffy dog. Beneath the music, faint squeaks echoed from the dungeon—a rat nibbled at the bandit’s bread, its beady eyes glinting as if it knew the crown’s secret. The king dismounted, his gaze sweeping the castle, determined to reclaim his symbol of power and restore the kingdom’s peace.

Welcome to the Mountain Kingdom! I made some small adjustments: removed the middle column in the throne room to improve accessibility, and shortened the set name for easier reference. The castle includes many details such as Gothic and Romanesque windows, round texturized bastions, flags, coat or arms, a brick built gate, plants and brick built trees. The building is foldable and in the opened version the rooms and halls are visible. There is a throne hall, the king's bedroom with a treasure chest, a dining hall, a kitchen with a masonry oven, a blacksmith's forge with an anvil, a prison in the basement, servants' quarters. All doors work.

The set includes 11 minifigures (including the statue) and some animals which provide many playability options.

Dimensions of the castle (closed):
Width: 56.4 studs / 17.7 in / 45.1 cm
Length: 39.5 studs / 12.5 in / 31.6 cm
Height: 76.4 studs / 24.1 in / 61.1 cm

My name is Laszlo Torma and I love LEGO, it is one of my hobbies. I prefer minifigure scale and I design usually but not exclusively Speed Champions style car models. My LEGO nickname is TLG which is the abbreviation of my full name (in Hungarian order).
I love castles as well and therefore I decided to design one for the Bricklink Designer Program. It is not actually based on a real building, but was inspired by some famous castles and it is a bit smaller, but more detailed version of my earlier King's Castle.

I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback!

All the best,
Laszlo Torma
