Conisbrough castle's keep has always amazed me, and due to it's round shape I thought it a great challenge to recreate it in default minecraft.
This castle is located in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, England, and I've taken inspiration from various sources and reconstructions for this build. This is in no ways meant to be a 100% accurate recreation, as I've taken multiple creative liberties, specially with the castle's surroundings (which are still a work in progress), and the era it's set in. I hope you like it.
Here are some pictures of the real castle as it stands nowadays, aswell as of some of the reconstructions mentioned before:

I think I might've linked some of them before, but I think Historic England has a vertical section, too. Though I think the third link might actually be Orford Castle.
