For some reason people think this is why I didn't have much time in the last HC video. Guys this was filmed weeks ago. I didn't have time because I'm currently in Ghana for two weeks, you can see more if you follow me on Instagram!
grain
Enjoy your vacation^^
Stay safe, Grian!
This is why you guys should watch episode 16 all the way through, no skipping!
How is Ghana?
“It looks like I’m taking notes, but I was actually just drawing a picture of my cats”
There’s nothing more Grian than that
That’s why we love him 😌
@LakehuntistXD Didn't know it was opposite day today..
I was looking for this!
Literally spitting facts
My dude be spitting facts here
Actually blown away with this bro, serious talent ❤️
Oh yeah so tru man
Agreed
Love ya Jimmy

Oooh. I've been to Corfe Castle! They called it a "medieval skyscraper". Apparently the ruin is a bit atypical in that it was actually demolished, rather than just abandoned; the result of negotiations for repayment after a military defeat. The point where the castle was located was too strategic and was to never be used again.
The guys who took it (let in by a traitor) realised that they couldnt hold it and so to avoid it being recaptured, BOOM.
I was just sitting here wondering how castles fall into ruin like this. Like a fire wouldn’t do it since it’s vast majority stone. So I was wondering did people just leave it abandoned for 100s of years? But surely someone would want to snatch that up and live in it. But I got my answer for this one. It was intentionally destroyed.
@@rachelcookie321 Yea, you can see the main gate is broken in the center and sagged away oddly; that's not something simple neglect will do.
@@rachelcookie321 Well, there are a lot of castle ruins here in Germany. Some of them were indeed used for a long time and just kinda started to fall apart because they weren't properly maintained. Others got damaged during war, keep in mind, the first cannons in Europe were used in like the 13th century. Some were partly taken apart because people wanted to build other stuff and just took the material from the castle or it was in the way of something they wanted to build at that place. A lot of castles were heavily damaged during the Thirty Year's War, during the Napoleonic Wars (Napoleon captured a bunch of castles and deliberately blew them up) or were used during WW1 or WW2 as command posts and were then targeted by artillery. Some castles were also heavily modified after the medieval age to serve either as more modern fortresses or as more palace-like residences of rich people. In German we actually differentiate between Burg and Schloss - both is translated into English as castle. A Burg is the kind of fortified structure from the medieval age that was used as a residence for nobles and also often served as a economical and administrative center for a region while a Schloss is more of a post-medieval residence that mostly looks nice and may have purely decorative features that look like fortification.
But like actually, it was not that rare for castles to be demolished at some point. In the case of Corfe castle, it was actually partly demolished along many other castles in the 17th century as a result of the English Civil War and the near villages partly demolished the castle on their own to get stone to rebuild their own houses after the war. Which is really not that special.
@@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei a burg sounds like a fortress while a schloss sounds like a palace based off your descriptions.
I absolutely love the “Grian editing” drawing. It’s so cute, and includes things from the previous Hermitcraft seasons. The pesky bird mug and the Sahara laptop.
Oh dang, I didn't even notice that :o
Where is it/what are you talking about?
@@johnnyhotbody1155 it's the drawing at 2:29! :)
@@cherrybombles ohhhh thanks so much, you’re right that’s a great drawing
@@cherrybombles thanks the drawing is incredible
I love how they recreated an apartment to make it look like it was Grians and he just pulls the curtain right back and is like, hey it's a studio. 😂
Like they really went for it too. Staged this whole scene, two double monitors and the whole shebang... And he's like nah bro it was all fake.
Jokes aside this is a really cool idea.
Am I the only one who already knew it was a studio?
@@thehotwheelsreviews you could kinda tell, but yeah
@@theneotrinity stop spamming Db
@@theneotrinity thank you for stopping spamming. spam advertising is not a good way to grow a channel, it will just bring in haters. The best way to grow your youtube channel is to make something unique and high quality so that people who like your content will only be able to watch your channel to see it. That's why channels that just copy other channels aren't successful, because people would rather just watch the original.
@@theneotrinity thanks bro, good luck with youtube
Living only 20 minutes from the actual castle and having visited it millions of times, it looks so good and realistic! Well done grian!
Ngl thought it was just going to be me lol
Huh, I guess the equivalent for me in Texas would be living nearby a Civil war or revolutionary war battlefield.
Unless you count the Alamo of course.
I also live about 20 minutes from Corfe Castle! Poole?
I'm in Upton
Grian didn't actually build the real castle, just the minecraft version.
I live next door to a military camp....
I love that Grian can capture the realism of the old ruins, add a bit of artistic intent, and make it look like a real structure.
Imagine being such a good builder, that even Mojang recognizes your talents. Grian has a true skill for building.
@LakehuntistXD alright, prove it, make a better build if you’re gonna bot comments saying this
@LakehuntistXD dude really? CAP
@LakehuntistXD Dude the fact you have two videos saying Techno deserved what happens to him proves you shouldn’t be here.
@LakehuntistXD No way this isn't a troll account tring to get attention
facts
I love how they recreated the actual landscape around Corfe as well as the modern day roads and the Swanage heritage steam railway and then asked him to re build the castle to it’s civil war days
@フリスクチャンネル lmfao nice try
The landscaping is one of the most aesthetic parts of this build. A lot of focus in the ruins, but it's all brought together by the scenery. This is great!
irs insane that they even put in the forest and farmland around the ruins, it adds so much to the final product
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Scar would be proud :)
@@Gum-gr love that guy
@@cheerio3442 agreed 💯
Imagine if Grian's interpretation turned out to be the most accurate to what the real castle looked like
@dueeh nyyu Translate?
It wasn't.
It was a sad excuse for a "recreation".
He even stated it himself that he upscaled it for no real reason.
This video shows that the creativity of Minecraft truly is endless. The whole interview, historic building, the "fake studio", all the different building styles, it truly is incredible what can be achieved with Minecraft and talent. Amazing video.
Ayyyy dansker!
I have so many happy memories of visiting Corfe castle as a kid, your rendition is beautiful! the closest a minecraft build/video has come to making me cry
i do be making some pretty cool vids lowk
"I don't know why I thought an octagon was going to be a hard shape to build..."
To be fair, Ren and Doc kinda redefined the concept of an _Octagon_ last season, and it's probably still fresh in your memory...
I didnt see much of the last season, what happened?
@@MysticEagle52 Search up Hermitcraft octagon season8
At least you'll now know what it looked like
True they did redefine Octagon
definitely not hard to build, but as Grian pointed out, small octagons look like circles in MC
*THE OCTAGON*
This would look really chobblesome if you were to add it into your Hermitcraft 9 base!
I agree! Very chobblesome
Very chobblesome
Absolutely
The most chobblesome.
@tom you have no content?
Many of those walls and buildings at the time would have been shades of white. They washed the walls and covered them with a lime mixture to protect them from the elements and also make them look more attractive. It's very unlikely that the castles would have been just grey stone. There would have been some sort of plastering done to the exterior.
yes. and probably alot more wood. Its easier to build with and was wa more used back in the day.
Interesting!
yeah but i think he means that in Minecraft its mostly just stone and the little details added in real life which add texture aren't easily available without a full texture job
This is why I like Bdoubleo's diorite castles
There would also be a lot of wooden huts within the castle walls and next to the road leading up to them. But I don't think that was the goal of this project. :)
Hey grain, I know this will probably go unnoticed, but you should check out the Castle of Sintra in Portugal, its probably one of the only castles in existence with so many contrasty colors, and some contrasting shapes that somehow all work together. Not saying to build it, but it could be of some inspiration for a future build!
Grain 💀
@@BigMike566 I didn't even notice that, must have been auto correct XD
Actually a pretty cool castle.
Ooh that's lovely! You've inspired me. I've been thinking about building a castle in my world and I already have one building with a palette of yellow terracotta and oxidized copper. Bright colors are so fun to work with.
@@superbelo turn off auto correct rn
I thought Ancient Cities were already Enormous
This one is HUGE
Just ur average Hermitcraft mini-base

@@jevils_ my feet
Woow so mature
Rather than getting a expert engineer or a historian, the national trust got a pro Minecraft builder to recreate the Corfe Castle. Best choice ever!!!
wouldn't say Grian is a pro builder, but he's definitily better than most people.
To be fair Bdubs would prolly build a more historically accurate version of the castle but this is pretty good as well.
I really want this to be a series where Grian repairs a different British castle each episode
YES
Pleasantly surprised to see my reconstruction of Corfe Castle in this video! It's the one at 3:55, you can view the animation on my channel. May I just ask to be credited in the description please?
I also agree with Grian that it is really difficult doing a reconstruction of this castle, with all of the variations that exist between illustrations and especially that it was expanded over time! I remember reading quite a few books about the castle. My version is also a bit earlier than the other illustrations, so it is missing certain things, such as the viewpoint/balcony, right of the keep. And had other extra things, such as the wooden structure above the gate.
I really enjoyed watching your build Grian and I think you did a fantastic job, it looks amazing! Makes me want to get back to Minecraft.
For everyone else, I recommend going for a visit, it is a great castle and the surrounding landscape is gorgeous.
Replying to this so he has a higher chance of seeing it. Maybe email him or something
Random reply
Mmm yes another reply
I would love to see Grian’s take on what Minecraft’s ancient cities might have once looked like.
Yessss
If you do decide to make a interior do remember that medieval people loved color. So make sure to include white washed walls, and paintings on most of the walls.
Tapestry’s as well. Gardens etc. Humans love colour,order and beauty in their surroundings.
This just shows how much of a pro grian is at building
@tom no it isnt
What about WBC builds
@tom what content?
@@wejmould5935 pretty sure they are a bot
What do u mean?
He IS THE BEST BUILDER IN ALL OF MINECRAFT
I'm.... amazed.. That talent you possess is honestly rebuilding and restoring a ruin
I know, right? Grian's Minecraft building talent is like being able to draw a perfect replica of the 'Starry Night', while some people (like me) have Minecraft building skills that barely look like what was intended.
This could make such a cool series, and honestly I’d watch it
we need a castle siege series on this map
Defenders have to defend their castle , and they have to grow their own crops within the castle walls because they cannot leave the castle to collect food at the wheat fields ,
Attackers have to set up camp in the surrounding fields and try to defeat the defenders using attrition , strategy and attacks on the castle , possibly even using basic TNT cannons or modded stuff
Gotta love when grian uploads
Of course
Yep
@tom bro this comment is so true but I hate bot reply’s.
Grian uploads beloved
it’s the best
I laughed at the "Now this looks like I'm holding a book and pen and taking notes, but actually no I was just drawing sketches of my cats" 😂 Very Grian. Loved the detail of the castle though! It's insanely good!
Edit : TYSM FOR THE 1K LIKES
I thought the first image was Minecraft with insane shaders
@@Cynical_Defined LOL
boo
Lol . I love cats
When I found out that Grian teamed up with Minecraft I was so happy. He has so much talent when it comes to building in Minecraft and the castle in this video showcased that.🙂
I really dont think he teamed up. I think they just hired him to build this structure
@@asifishan1221 nah it’s just a sponsorship
@LakehuntistXD I need a GPS because I can’t find who asked
@LakehuntistXD keep searching boys we gotta find who asked
@@SuQmEdIc69 Minecraft sponsoring grian or grian sponsoring minecraft?
One sentence to sum up Grian.
“Instead of taking notes during the interview, I was just drawing a picture of my cats.”
I've always loved Corfe Castle, especially as a re-enactor whose camped and fought there! Brilliant job Grian!!
wow that must be so cool
This is a very cool idea, I've thought about doing this before but never really put the time into doing it. Haven't watched the full video yet but I already know the recreation is going to look amazing
@tom Quiet and down you attention seeking pick me kid nobody asked you to comment. Just because you have a brain doesn't mean you're smart.
@tom stop you are either a bot or a 2 year old and this is rude
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE okay
@tom stop. No. Nobody cares.
@LakehuntistXD lakehuntistxd.
Happened to visit the other day and so happy to see a recreation of the castle, making the view of things so much clearer.
Having looked to this castle for inspiration, particularly in Minecraft, before, it was a spectacular to see this tackled by none other than Grian! Absolutely loved this kind of video; would love to see more! Well done.
I love this build, Grian has always been such an inspiration. I love your channel Grian, thank you for having such a sense of optimism and unlimited stock of video ideas and jokes. I really hope you read this!
Love this grian, glad mojang recognised you as a amazing builder, incredible recreation btw
3rd btw
Wish they’d recognize another channel known as WBC builds
Not mojang
It was Microsoft
@SteamCat86 stop replying, replying = attention, bots do that to gain attention to them
@@mr.p1759 mojang is a good company.
Microsoft just left millions of people in the dust.
I love stuff like this, genuinely, like it's interesting, it's educational, imagine somehow getting the start of this map and having a group of students attempt to recreate what it looks like, then getting to discuss the history, how since it was built over such a long length of time styles change, trying to point that out. Like when video games are used as educational tools, that's just awesome.
This is pretty crazy. I would never be able to build something like this even when having a clear image of what I need to build unless its in Minecraft and I can look around
@RLM What’s wrong with Minecraft?
Same
@LakehuntistXD You’re not
@LakehuntistXD L+ratio
Bduz: practicing castles for years.
Grian: full historical recreation, why not!
(All the love to both)
I found the sloping wheat fields in the background oddly soothing - also, loved the build, it looked magical when the texturing and shade was added along the outer walls
this could definitely be a series. Love the new content and maybe you could invite other builders like bdubs or scar for later videos
yess omg that would be amazing
pretty sure he was contacted by minecraft and the trust thing to do this, so idk if hes in the position to invite others should there be more
He did have a similar series before where he revamped structures in minecraft like the nether fortress and ocean temple
Bdubs cranking out the gradients

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRIAN!!! i can't begin to describe how much you've changed my life! the best decision i ever made was clicking on a video of yours 5 years ago. you've made me feel so happy and comforted time and time again and i can't imagine my life without you. ill never stop watching and supporting you. it's just something so indescribable about you how you bring smiles and happiness to millions like me. thank you for everything you've done. thank you, grian. i hope you have an amazing birthday :') ♡
This is so gorgeous! The drone footage really emphasises how this would have stood up out of the land for miles to see. Amazing build, Grian!
Grian should be commissioned to create naturally generated structures for minecraft, it'd be great from creating a bridge between the community and the devs. Also Grian is just an amazing builder and would help make new structure fit better in the game and feel alive.
So true they should hire him
The naturally generated structures are really simple and unimpressive on purpose. To inspire people to use it as a foundation and build impressive stuff (ancient cities are exceptions ofc)
Grian trying to pronounce the different parts of the build is hilarious 😂
This is soooo strange. I have driven on that road next to the castle so many times to go camping when I was younger. Well done grian!
This was a really good idea, even the ruin at the start was an awesome build. Mojang could turn this into a whole series easy with a bunch of different structures, experts and creators. 👏🔥
This has inspired me to make St Mitchell’s Mount in Cornwall and recreat it in Minecraft! Thanks! ❤️ Keep up the good work!
haha nice i love it there!
Wish you luck, sussy imposter!

I love literally like a mile away from St Michaels Mount and I’ve been there many times. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
I loved visiting Corfe Castle as a kid and this brought back fond memories of pretending to be in the pillory for stealing or something! Thank you so, so much for reaching into my memory soup and pulling out one I’d forgotten entirely. You did an amazing job on the build :)
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thank you
I love this so much - Corfe Castle is my favourite place ever, I'm a bit of a history nerd and the English Civil War is the thing I know most about, so this made me so happy, thank you so so much
Grian...
You've been and will be a cornerstone of my past and future - I'm so inspired by the way you never lose motivation or hope on a build.
You're a damn good guy, Grian.
I’m loving this concept of mixing history and Minecraft! Well done Grian, the build is incredible...
This is some amazing stuff, not sure what ur younger viewers think, i think this is an awesome way to digitalize history,
keep doing this! Maybe u can make a series were you educate kids on the history and architecture of different buildings by doing this,
Gg,
great idea!
NICCEEE!! I’m glad your branching out with your content more frequently

If grian is soo terrible in ur bad opinion stop watching him
@@Imonlyalienafterall Who are you talking to? Nobody said he was terrible.
Both your rendition and the actual place is absolutely beautiful and stunning. You did an awesome job restoring it even if it not exact.
The Thumbnail photo looked familier and I was like "Is that Corfe Castle?" I've been there on school trips and family days out multiple times. I still can't get over how creators I watch on YT, are able to go to places as rural as Corfe Castle. As I feel as Corfe Castle is in the middle of nowhere.
Only British people would think a place 20 minutes from a fairly large city is remote
@@ducklordthegreat352 Considering that Dorset is the only county without a motorway and that we really only have two actual cities which are Poole and Bournemouth which are also mainly counted as one as they are right next to each other. And that the rest is of dorset is just rural. So the answer is still yes. Dorset is rural.
Pixelevee rural sure, but it’s very much not in the middle of nowhere. To me that implies at least 2 hours from the nearest city, whereas you can get to Corfe Castle from Poole in about 20 minutes.
Happy Birthday Grian!!! Hope your trip is going well!!! :DD
Grian finally finished the back of the mansion!
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE ok I won’t bot
This is such a fun way to interact with history. I really love this, and the results of recreating the castle.
I really enjoy seeing historical stuff in Minecraft, so this video was a treat. I would love to see other Hermits do their take on the castle as well!
Instantly recognised Corfe Castle on the thumbnail, been going around there for holidays for over a decade!
Love the video and the cinematography!
Oml yeah I saw the thumbnail and was like, that's not Corfe castle is it?
I am honestly incredibly happy to see a new building video from you, it's been a hot minute since one of 'em and I honestly miss just watching you do your thing.
Grian is truly a master of building. He should have an actual building class in Minecraft.
He king of already did that when he has that building school a few years ago
A gloriette is a building in a garden erected on a site that is elevated with respect to the surroundings. The structural execution and shape can vary greatly, often in the form of a pavilion or tempietto, more or less open on the sides.
But the castle was amazing Grian, well done!
This as a series would be absolutely astonishing.
My favourite thing about grians irl appearance is that he just simply always looks ready to prank someone, it’s amazing
Grian: "We're gonna take these referrences with a grain-"
Literally every subscriber: *"HE SAID THE THING!!!!!"*
YESS HE DID :D
Just visited Corfe castle today and was wondering why it looked familiar… then I remembered watching this video when it came out!!
It was a really fun visit and was really interesting to learn about the history of this castle. Excellent job recreating it too!! :]
were doing medieval castles in my history class rn and this is just perfect
I will show you a picture of the color yellow >:)
You gotta admit, some parts of my (our) country are absolutely spectacular, and Grian really captured the essence of the English country side
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! 🎉I hope you’ve had a great birthday you certainly deserve it :D
Nice castle build! Guess i’ll start building my version right now
This is going to be such a cool castle; I'm only 33 seconds in and I never even considered that the Ancient Cities might be old castles!

Every second of this video was amazing. The idea, the building, the interview, Grians funny puns during the process.. everything. You're a very talented dude. And thanks to Xbox for making this possible. I hope you get mor jobs with them in the future. Outstanding
Thank you Grian for this video it’s obvious it meant a lot to you and it’s absolutely beautiful. I would like to thank you for the time you put in to subtitling your video I really appreciate
That castle is super cool... I hope to visit The UK and see it for myself sometime! That's the one thing about the United States, there is no medieval history or castles here. I did live in Japan for several years though, they still have some absolutely BEAUTIFULLY maintained Japanese castles.
They may not be grander castles, but there are plenty of hidden gems in the US that are worth visiting. Ancient Native, African, and European stuff.. Did you know that Vikings settled and built pyramids and small structures all around the US well before the formal European invasion? Some are even submerged in the ocean at this point. I can't remember where they were said to be located exactly, but they're around here somewhere. 😁
@@daviclemons6910 Oh yeah I'm very aware of the historical structures here in America, they are absolutely amazing. I've lived in over 12 states and traveled the whole US visiting places like that. I also want to see all of the historic sites that took place in the founding of the United States. Don't get me wrong, I loved those places, but I just really want to see medieval castles and structures, especially studying Europe so much in school.
I hope grian turns this into some sort of a series! recreating ruins from around the british isles
In this interview Grian looks sorta similar to Daniel Radcliffe, like give him some round spectacles and a lightning bolt scar and you got an easy cosplay there
2:49 this is a masterpiece
Both real life ruins and the Minecraft rebuild are breathtaking
This video is quite different to others… and I absolutely love it.
A restoring an ancient city video would be so cool
