(...) Nitpick! You forgot 6073 Knight's Castle! 6073 and 6074 connect well together, too. :) On top of that, 6080 King's Castle and 6085, when opened, can both accept wall pieces, although they are on baseplates. Anyway, I'd love to see TLC return (...) (25 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi CastleFans! I've built my wizard's academy last week. There's also a little story about this building. Maybe you're interested and will look for the academy: (URL) from Germany, René (25 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.castle) !
