What castle shape to build?

[Admiral Khan]

I am planning on a castle to build, but am at a crossroads to what shape to build the castle. I am building it on a 60x28 area. My inspirational shape is this castle built by Ecclesiastes:

I want to build a mountain-type castle that doesn't have much of a courtyard, but has a few taller towers besides the keep. The castle I want to build would be a little smaller than the link, but still roughly the same shape, with the gatehouse leading to the keep, and the turning toward a taller tower on a larger rock.

Any shape suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

There's a castle here in my town which is very unique because its triangular shape, see pictures:

Unfortunately I can't be much of help, not a lot of interesting castles here in Netherlands. But I also would like to get some ideas, so please share them!

We have thousands of castles here of all shapes and sizes.

Here's a small list http://www.chooseireland.com/visitor-tips/what-are-the-best-castles-to-see-in-ireland/

My top 3 are

Bunratty castle

Donegal castle

and

Ross castle

What's wrong with this one?

That's a neat looking castle. I hadn't seen that before.

I recently started building a castle too. I did want to incorporate a different shape or angled walls or something, I ended up keeping it fairly square only since it is my first castle. I'll start off slow and work my way up to more advanced techniques. I also have little time to actually build, so I don't have time to tinker with different angles or shapes.

Best of luck to you on your castle.

Nothing. I said "not a lot". That means there are some nice ones, but countries like England and France have more, bigger castles. I like that one! But what castle is that?

Ok, that is close to where I live. Maybe I can visit it someday. Get some better looks at it. Lots of nice round towers, kinda hard to make with Lego.

I think we only have one castle here in Québec, the Château Frontenac. It kind of fits your desctiption?

That fits a little of what I am thinking of since it has the keep in the middle.
