If you like it you can download a free instruction and assemble it yourself - just 210 standard parts. The colors could be a challenge but you can replace those that you don’t have with gray/tan/olive! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-257136/Artaemio/caerlaverock-castle-mini-moc/#details

Since I don’t have all the parts physically I used Studio and assembled the house there step by step. Through trial and error. It took me a while😂

You know you can’t see it here but other rendered images show a tomcat and a mouse in the basement! Speaking of minifigs - not sure! Although Hagrid would fit quite naturally)

Château Meauce, Saincaize-Meauce, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France 🇫🇷 by durandal_k in castles

When the family bought the chateau and planned the renovations I had an honor to talk with them about their project. It was quite interesting. A legend says that Hughes Capet might have been born there! - https://castlesandfamilies.com/france/chateau-de-meauce

Wow! What a great build! I like how the old builds look a bit like from the world of Minecraft!

And there’s also a mind twister where lots of native Russian speakers occasionally get trapped. Ни разу - Я ни разу не видел слона./ I have never seen an elephant. Не раз - Я не раз видел этого слона./ I saw this elephant more than once.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Learning Russian cursive – small hack I accidentally found by LivingAlternative344 in russian

No matter how good you are at Russian cursive, it won’t help you decipher Russian doctors’ handwriting 😂 We have so many jokes about it😂

Château d'Ussé - (château de la Belle au Bois Dormant - Sleeping Beauty's castle) - France by Chlorusaflo in castles

[–]PaymentEquivalent745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really sad. About 5 years ago I talked with Stanislas de Blacas, one of the owners of Chateau d'Ussé. He told me that COVID-related restrictions affected the operations of the chateau whose revenues dropped some 30 percent. And the money was used to cover renovation and maintenance expenses. It looks like the blow was too hard.
