I bought this because I loved the look of it, but the building part ended up being my favorite. There are so many strange little details and every section feels different. Took me a few evenings to finish and I honestly enjoyed the whole process.

Part castle part machine, and completely unlike anything else on your shelf. Uneven towers mechanical structures pipes rooftops and curious little additions pile on top of one another to recreate the wonderfully chaotic silhouette that makes Howl’s castle instantly recognizable.


There’s no such thing as a boring side of this castle. Look around and you’ll find gears chimneys tiny windows mechanical parts crooked structures and architectural details stacked in seemingly impossible ways. It’s the kind of model you’ll keep turning around just to see what you missed.




Eight A5 sheets of precision-cut plywood become one seriously unusual machine. The illustrated guide walks you through the assembly without requiring glue or special tools making the complexity part of the fun as that unmistakable silhouette gradually takes shape in your hands.

Skip another print mug or ordinary collectible. This is something they actually get to build before displaying: a hands-on project recognizable piece of film-inspired design and functional desk companion rolled into one wonderfully strange castle.
