MOC Royal Castle and Cathedral on Wawel in Cracow

[goldsun]

Hi!

Our association "Zbudujmy.to!" was asked by Lego Poland to design and build a map of Poland along with several characteristic places. Such a map will be shown at the Lego events in Poland. One of the models that I built is the Royal Castle and Cathedral on Wawel Hill in Krakow.

Our models were not to exceed a certain size, so I built only a portion of the building complex.

Design - 5 days

Building - 2 weeks

Size 64x105 studs

The height of the highest tower - 46 bricks

More than 200 lots

About 20000 bricks

Wawel complex is one of the best known sites in Poland. Archaeologists dug passages that suggest that already in the eleventh century there were more residential buildings. Later Wawel Castle was the seat of Polish kings and today is one of the places used as presentable by the Polish presidents. Exactly two days ago the Pope celebrated Mass there, upon arrival to the Poland. :-)

Entire Complex

Courtyard of the castle

Tower of Sigismund III Vasa

Tower of Jan III Sobieski

Tower Jordanka

Danish tower

Hen's foot

Senators Tower

Cathedral

Clocks Tower

Sigismunds Tower

Silver Bells Tower

And renders of design steps

Finished project

And some fun with the photo. :-)

Ufff ...

Thanks for the reading and watching. :-)

Wow, it looks great! There are some great techniques, colours and textures included as well.

Are there any pictures of the entire Lego map of Poland?
