Here’s a neat Minecraft model restoring a ruined castle to its former glory

Xbox has partnered with preservation society National Trust (opens in new tab) and some British creatives to make a Minecraft model of Corfe Castle. The rather complex, impressive build was sponsored by Xbox UK as part of the National Trust’s festival of archaeology, encouraging people to create “their own version of the ruin using the foundations.”  

To that end, this first build was done by a YouTube video maker named Grian, whose work is highlighted in the video above and on YouTube. (opens in new tab) By working off of historical photos and consulting with an expert, then combining Minecraft build expertise with a bit of artistic license, Grian creates a build that highlights the most interesting features of Corfe Castle, like its historical octagonal tower and miniature palace, or “Gloriette.” Which, as I understand, is kind of like a medieval kingly version of the Victorian folly.
