Detailing throughout the Castle is of high quality, the books on the cases are individually modeled in 3D shape, the flowers that cling to the pillars are not alpha textures, but have actual 3D petal cups. The balconies are accented with 3D swirls in shimmering gold. Each tower is capped with Octagonal roofs and the fireplaces and grates have animated flames, baked textures and particle effects for a more realistic experience. All arched doors have 3D handles. Windows are of a unique design with rounded frames and glazed. All parts of the castle (except the towered rooftops) are walkable/collision enabled and of solid physics shape.

Main hall.

After ascending the long stone stairs, you will arrive in the Main Hall, with fireplace and roaring fire, two picture windows and a balcony with whispering corner. The spacious hall is full of character, with interesting angles and nooks and corners, but quite large enough to allow you to feature various furnishing to your taste. Size and design has been created to make your task more easy, with the various nooks being of regular couch size, and longer wall left un-windowed. The secret panel behind the tapestry, in the main hall, leads outside, to a staircase which will take you up to the owl balcony looking outward to the main gate area, here you can address your population, or enjoy some private time and views of your land. Large sweeping staircase clings to the walls of the main hall, leading up to the rest of the castle. Rug in the Main Hall moves to reveal a one way access down to the dungeon below. The huge fireplace features a massive oak beam and two decorated pillars designed for placing your favorite plants or statues upon.

First Floor

The first floor contains the cozy Library, lined with bookcases and lovely window views, fitted feature fireplace with roaring fire in basket. Behind one of the bookcases is a secret passageway, leading up to a dark totally walled room.

Second Floor.

The second floor is accessed by continuing along the clinging spiral staircase, this will lead you up to bedroom one, which features beautiful picture windows. Then on to bedroom two, the larger bedroom which has its own fireplace and small balcony, and by walking to the very end of the balcony you can find another secret panel, which by squeezing tightly, gives direct and unexpected access into the first bedroom.

Third Floor.

The third floor is accessed up a more narrow flight of stairs, with eccentric small walled area above the stairs, that could be used for a work space or weapon store, and leads to a large round balcony and open rooftop area, here you can enjoy the views of your domain, or romance your sweetheart in the circular tower, and a final set of stairs will lead you up to...

Fourth floor.

The fourth floor contains just one grand room, the Master Bedroom, with sweeping commanding views, and a large Gothic fireplace, large balcony and plenty of space for the Master's bed and accouterments.

Land Impact and scale.

The Castle of Light is 210 LI at delivered size, it is delivered as one piece so can easily be sited and easily scaled up or down. If you wish to terraform the dungeon under the ground, please be aware that the access door is on the same level, and you will need to leave this open. Please make sure if you intend to scale the build, that you have "Stretch Textures" button checked in your edit window. Scaling up will increase the LI of the build, and scaling down will decrease it. All doors are fitted to the build as linked parts, and will retain their position and function if the building is scaled.

The Castle of Light, has a base footprint of 24.1Mx 24.1M but increases in size as it rises from the base, the total footprint at widest point is 37M x 37M.

Advert pictures have NOT been edited in photoshop, but have been taken with high level graphics card and with ultra graphics enabled in SL viewer. You can view each image in higher resolution on my flickr stream here http://www.flickr.com/photos/110226724@N07/

I have reduced the Castle of Light, as many people do love it, and so it will remain in my catalog, but it is a very old item now.
