“The second Falcon castle, this set is a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the first, The small yellow structure at the back (possibly a chapel) is a nice counter to the grey of the walls, the yellow flags on the front also help tie this image together.”

“There's a reason why this is one of the highest rated castles made by LEGO. I really see no faults with this set.”
Full review at www.eurobricks.com
Brickipedia
“As its predecessor, the Knight's Castle, the fortress was built on green plate-pieces rather than on flat baseplates. It also utilized hinge-bricks that allowed to open the castle. There are no stairs nor a ladder to connect the different levels. The drawbridge is manually... More raised or lowered as there is no winch unlike the earlier Knight's Castle.”
