Great Puzzle

Like all Ravensburger puzzles, this one was very detailed but enjoyable. This is a great hobby for the winter months, and you can't go wrong with a Ravensburger puzzle!

Lovely picture
What a beautiful picture for a puzzle! Like other reviewers I agree that the pieces are cut well.

My only complaint about this product is that when I reached the end, there was a piece missing. I searched and searched everywhere for it, but couldn't find it. This was not the fault of the product, but if you lose a piece, don't order another puzzle because they press out the pieces in different patterns. You won't be able to fit the lost piece in.

Challenging yet lots of fun, great for family get-togethers
I was a little hesitated buying this one when I saw one review says it's a bit challenging and "not for beginners", but I decided to give it a try since the castle is one of my dream places in the world. Turns out it's a great buy and provides lots of fun from start to finish. It's one of the few games my parents(aged 65)really enjoyed and were totally drawn to it for 2 weeks!Yet it's their very first jigsaw puzzle game! My husband and myself enjoyed it too, although sometimes one did get frustrated by the dark leaves, all-look-the-same greens and yellows that surround the castle. Indeed it is a good color lesson too if you insist on "educational value".
