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.

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.
See item in Second LifeSo messy
I regret spending that amount on this horrible build. So many things are wrong with it and it has stairs hidden in a spot that leads no where. Refund would be appreciate, this is unusable in the state it is.
The picture is very deceiving.
Its very much a fav
I happened on this one year, and I took a chance.. was back in 2017,, I have a thing for castles, I wanted something a bit different then most, and this one caught my eyes.. The price is better then most I have seen out there, It's fun to get lost in this sorta Castle.. I love how you put it together.. smiles.. I have a few other things from you.. Though this one is my fav.
One of the Best Homes Ever
I lived in this castle for over two years. It was a wonderful and joyful experience. I decided to move on from the fantasy look, and I still can't find a single building I like because this one was so perfect. Is the construction without flaws (per one star review)? No? Does it really matter? If you want to live in a castle that has lots of light, character, and spaciousness, this is the place for you.
Picture is deceiving
Possibly the worst build I've ever seen. Irregular mesh shapes that don't match the prim mixed in. If you have days to fix all the mistakes it might be worth 99L. Definitely not 950L. Save your money.
very happy
no rez box. just place on ground. its one big object. im very happy with the looks and size
great castle
it looks wonderful and works well for me . very nice work for the price. I have one issue with it that i need help with but can't get the creator to respond to two messages on different days, one on a notecard, so i know they got it. So 4 stars instead of 5. nothing wrong with the build.. recommended
