✠ Hello everyone, ✠
For my third project, I have built a realistic castle.
this was my first true realistic castle but I have done my best to make it impregnable.
This castle is very defensible, it have 11 layers of protection with 1 drawbridge, 3 portcullis, 4 killboxes, many defensive archs and murderholes, battlements and machicolations.
⚜ You can of course use my map for any purpose as long as you give me credits. ⚜
All have been built in creative 1.8.8 with plugins like WorldEdit
the castle is compatible for all versions of minecraft JAVA edition above 1.8.X.
I made lot of blueprints before arrive to this result, and I think I came to a good compromise between protection and utility.
I am the only builder for this project but many friends advise me wisely.
All the interiors are furnished and every houses are visitable.
The render is made with the Conquest_of the Sun by monsterfish and the KUDA's shaders.
I use the monsterfish_Conquered Tree Schematics for the vegetation
I recommand to use the Conquest or at least the john_smith texture pack for enjoying it.
I took inspiration for this project thanks to Dukonred1 videos: How to build a castle and many castles I visited or see in video games for exemple.
I had never conceived that building realistic structure were so intricate.
We have to think to all details and take care of the realism.
Texture pack: Conquest 32x32
[Lore / explanation / bullshit] :
This castle has been founded after the second crusade by a small dane lord and the order of knights of the hospital of saint John of Jerusalem. It is based in a completely fictionnal place near the vosges and it is a vassal of the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire. This castle is well fortified because it is near the french border and it is a principal road for the pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Fun facts:
The castle and it's hamlet can contain a population of more than 160 people with a garrison of 50 guards and 50 horses.
This project took me more than 250 hours.
There is a similar but more recent and impressive project that I have made, if you like this map, then you'll surely love this one: LINK
