Description:

Beyond the rolling green hills stands the Castle Gate of a mighty stone stronghold with banners of blue and white fluttering proudly in the wind. It’s high battlements and towering watchtower, guarded by vigilant knights and watchmen, provide a high enough ground to scan the horizon for raiders or word of emissaries.

A small cart drawn by a sturdy white horse arrive at the entrance, laden with supplies and weapons to bolster the armory. Beneath the shadow of the walls, ivy creeps along the stones, while a small tree blossom near the moat.

Features:

The gate includes a fully functional drawbridge and portcullis, ready to be raised or lowered as needed.
The model is modular and fully openable, allowing access to every floor so the inhabitants can move freely throughout the structure.
The entire gate section can be lifted away to reveal the underground armory and the alchemist’s laboratory.
The watchtower is detachable, providing access to the interior staircase. At the top of it is the dovecote.
The balcony and wall above the main entrance can be opened to control the drawbridge mechanism.
The carriage features a movable rear gate, enabling soldiers to climb aboard and load supplies with ease.
A hidden cave lies beneath the rocky hill, accessible through a secret stone door at the front.

Minifigures:

The model includes 8 soldiers, 2 horses, 3 pigeons, a bird, a squirrel, a spider and 5 frogs.

I’ve been a passionate fan of LEGO since childhood, with a special love for the medieval theme.

As a kid, I always dreamed of having a grand castle, one where I could bring to life the daily routines of its inhabitants and stage epic sieges with enemy forces.

This model represents the first step toward that dream. The Castle Gate serves as the foundation, and I plan to expand upon it with future builds: a mage’s tower, a bustling marketplace with artisans, stables, dormitories, and more. Each addition will be designed to seamlessly connect with this starting piece, creating a medieval castle full of life.
