Every episode of Game of Thrones opens with a bird’s eye view of the Seven Kingdoms (and occasionally Essos as well), as we admire one exotic castle after another. And while most of us might be content to simply take in the sight, one group of fans was not. WesterosCraft, a team of Minecraft users recreated the famous castles of Westeros down to a stunning level of detail. Behold, WesterosCraft’s recreation of King’s Landing.
From the Red Keep, to the Dragonpit and the Great Sept of Baelor, its hard to notice any details that WesterosCraft missed, although this is obviously before Cersei had her big moment. We think we even see the tunnel Arya came out while chasing cats back during season 1. King’s Landing looks like it took the most time to complete, but WesterosCraft’s other recreations were no less impressive. From the barely mentioned and never seen Gulltown in the Vale, to the godswood of Winterfell, WesterosCraft went all out.
One member of the team, Jake Schadewe admitted via Reddit, that his part in the project is “actually helping” as he applies for software engineering jobs. The Westeroscraft team has been under construction for “around half a decade now,” and the full gallery can be found here, and includes renderings of Castle Black, Dragonstone, Riverrun and many more.
We can’t decide what’s more impressive, the Westeroscraft team’s King’s Landing, or that one they’ve been building in Belfast for the past couple months. What does everyone else think?
