Pretty good
I got this set as a Christmas present from my mum and the size is pretty good, along with the building experience. The only con was the somewhat grueling experience of making the trees. This set doesn’t really have a play feature as it is a display set, nevertheless, an extremely beautiful set to have in your household.

Kings Castle
I have been to the real castle several times. This set does it extremely well, the accuracy and detail are way better then any I've seen or expected. I hope you make sets of Linderhof and the King's House on Sachen. That would made a great collection!

Most frustrating build
Most frustrating build I have ever experienced to the point I gave up during bag 20

Neuschwanstein Castle
I bought the Neuschwanstein Castle for my son who is in the Navy, for Christmas! He is a Lego fan and absolutely loved the gift. He couldn’t wait to build it! Beautiful castle to say the least! Thank you so much!

Beautiful model, instructions could be improved
My wife and I bought this as a compromise, she loves jigsaw puzzles & I don’t, but we wanted a shared quiet, focusing activity. Our son was a huge Lego Star Wars fan, and at 27 still has his Lego Death Star. This was a challenge to build, some of the instructional drawings didn’t give the best perspective of the pieces or how the fit together, especially when building both sides of a section that were not identical. Also telling the colors of some of the parts was somewhat difficult when you have a bag with several different shades of the same color family. I also agree with other reviewers about the large tower’s stability, any movement of the model and you can see it wobble. I will probably take it apart and add some “sticky-tack” poster adhesive to a few of the joints where the shafts connect, and where it connects to the base, in order to stop the wobbles. All in all though, we really did enjoy the project, and will display it in our home. We have already purchased Himeji Castle for our next one. I wish that the US Capitol & White House models were still available, as we would like to build those too.

Beautiful but…
It looks beautiful I love the castle and the overall build but it is one of the worst case of inflated pieces count and it really need to stop! Almost every piece is 1x1 and even in places where it makes no sense. There is so many places where there is a 1x1 that should have been 2 x 1 and it makes the build less sturdy. I’ve had walls fall apart multiple times because they used tiny parts instead of proper 1×2 bricks that would have fixed the issue. I’ve been waiting for this set for a long time, and it really does look great in my collection, but the actual build experience was infuriating. Not because it was difficult, but because I genuinely felt cheated.

Incredibly Detailed Model
Ignore the people giving 1 star reviews because their base collapses - if you build it properly and check it before, during and after adding the building sections you will not have any problems. I expect that the Lego designers spent many hours creating this model, and their base design obviously was chosen for a reason. Having been to this castle I can say that it is an amazing reproduction in such a reduced scale made solely from plastic bricks! Another great addition to the Architecture range - well done!
