A snowy medieval town takes shape between the pages of your favourite books! This alternate build transforms LEGO 75645 Battle at Drum Castle into a Medieval Winter Town Book Nook, replacing the original fortress with a cutaway scene of two adjoining medieval manors nestled together in a snow covered town.

The build makes use of the architectural and snowy elements of 75645 to create a different take on the original ONE PIECE set. Instead of a single fortress, the model opens up into a compact slice of medieval life, with two connected buildings, multiple rooms, timber details, stone walls, snowy rooftops and plenty of little details to discover.

Designed specifically as a book nook, the closed profile allows the model to sit neatly between your books while still providing plenty of depth and detail to explore. The cutaway design gives you a view into the interiors of the two neighbouring manors, making the build feel like you've taken a slice out of a much larger medieval town.

Snow covered roofs, stonework and warm interior spaces create a cosy winter atmosphere, while the vertical construction gives the model plenty of presence despite its compact footprint.

Due to the limited number of plates and bricks available in 75645, the base of the book nook is only 1 plate tall, compared to the 2 plates and 1 brick base height of my previous book nooks made from the LEGO 3-in-1 castles. Despite the thinner base, the model is still strong enough to be safely moved, with the scenery designed to open and close for access to the interior.

This is the third medieval book nook in my series, following my Medieval River Town Book Nook and Medieval Town Book Nook. Each one uses a different LEGO set to create a small glimpse into a larger medieval world.

Build a little piece of winter medieval life and bring it to your bookshelf!
