My wife and I really enjoyed building this. she did the left pages and I did the right. Having been to the actual Castle this was very accurate. Great detail. My only disappointment is with the pine trees. and there are a few steps in the book i felt like they were just trying to over 600 steps, because 3 steps on one page each had one piece. it was not that complex a sub build. Some of the cool interior details were fun to build but disappear after being built. A removable or hinged wall would have been nice
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing build with instructions that are easy to follow in a way that flows. The details included in this set are great, especially the option to switch out the foliage. 10/10 would recommend to anyone thinking about purchasing this set.

I absolutely love this set. Great build and techniques compared to earlier Architecture builds. I've had a lot of fun building so far, but I have ran into a problem in bag 16. I am missing a 1x2 tan jumper, but have a 1x2 dark brown tile. I have already contacted part support, but it has put a damper on the build right now.
LEGO's support is awesome as always, so I will soon have the replacement, but a small warning about small parts possibly being missing or swapped.
I think this was a really fun build. This castle has always been one of my favorite pieces of architecture in the world (I've been to Germany twice to see it) so I was very excited when the set came out. Instructions were clear and the build was enjoyable. Two minor critiques. 1) the empty courtyard. 2) the big spire has fallen apart twice on me so I don't believe the build techniques for this one are the best.
The set was fun to build and looked great once completed. Having been to the castle, it was fun that the throne room and grotto room details were included.
