Collection: Castle Book Nook

Castle book nooks are wooden DIY kits that recreate a castle, a manor, a tower or a cathedral, built to fit between two books on a shelf. Stone walls, stained glass and arches are cut from wood, and built-in LEDs light up the great hall or the nave at night. The pieces slot together without glue.

In this collection, you'll find castles like Eltz Castle, William Castle, a black and gold gothic castle, No. 9 Secret Castle with its hidden library, Twilight Castle and Strange Castle. There's also the elegant Gorgeous Manor, the haunted house of Dark Family, Dark Castle and the fairy-tale castle of Sleeping Beauty. Dragon fans get Dragons Treasure Labyrinth and Spire of The Wyrm, and church lovers get Notre-Dame de Paris, Cathedral, Covenant Church and Quiet Night Prayer. The colors are those of stone: gray, ochre and dark wood, with stained glass, crests and torches in the details.

A castle book nook takes a few hours to build, solo or with a friend, using the illustrated manual. Once it's done, it fits between history books or fantasy novels, or sits on a desk. It makes a great gift for anyone who loves castles, the Middle Ages, cathedrals or dragon stories. All our kits are CE certified and recommended for ages 14 and up.
