The Crusader Castle is the home (one of them, at least) of the Crusader Knights. Built above a river and waterfalls on an elevated section of land, the castle presents an interesting challenge for any potential invader. It's why the knights decided to build here in the first place.

Most of the detail is found on the outside, although there are a few notable things to discover when building indoors. Ages of natural weathering have done their part on the stones used to build the castle. A large rock face sits against one wall, while the other walls are bordered by gentle slopes, a waterfall, and a landscape filled with wild grasses and trees. The most interesting design is on the bottom of the castle. Due to the waterfalls, the castle had to be built above them, necessitating the need for a strong foundation.

Containing over 1600 pieces, the castle is meant first for display, showcasing different building techniques and varied landscapes, from rocks to trees. It can also serve as a tribute to the many LEGO castles released over the years.
