Not only was this an amazing build, the history behind the Castle was amazing. Building something that is patterned after something real makes the experience that much better.

Tedious build
I was really looking forward to this build and the overall result is ok (Fall colors look better), but the scale is so small that you end up with sooo many tiny individual bricks. I would normally have a completed a build this size in a week or so...this took me over a month and I built two other sets in the interim. It was just hard to get into it. One of the bags also had 5 of the wrong pieces (supposed to be solid sand single round pieces and they were gold perforated pieces that didn't match the surrounding brick). I scavenged from my smalls leftovers from many other sets for all but one, but was still kind of annoying. By contrast, the Botanical Garden and Gumball Machine were fun builds. It does go well into my "travel memories" collection, but if you're just looking for a fun build, lego has some better options.

A perfect architecture set!
Definitely one of the best builds I've done in a while, for the small windows, I didn't find them annoying so I practically just zoned out while putting them on haha!

Not for the faint of heart
The castle is pieced together on four single rail bricks that balance on one link on each end. There is no support under the middle of the structure and it is virtually impossible to snap the individual builds into place without risk of total collapse. Definitely not a beginner build - needs to be a builder with lots of extra bricks on hand to stabilize the structure properly from the start.

Amazing work completing the set, it couldn't have been easy! We're sorry to hear that you've found difficulty keeping the set together during your build. If you wish to rebuild the set, we'd suggest double checking your build as there may be a piece slightly off from where it should be and make sure each piece is pressed tightly together. So that the build doesn't totally collapse when connecting the individual builds. Please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV so our brickhelpers can help with any guidance with your set and keep the castle walls standing strong!

Half way done. Up to this point clear direction pieces fit seamlessly. Me and wife have lots of fun putting it together. Brought back memories of visiting the real castle back in the late 80's.

To many small windows
The majority of your time will be attempting to straighten the small windows (why not print the small windows onto 1x1 bricks), what a missed opportunity for a 10/10 set.
