This castle pattern can be made a number of ways, from quite simple to fairly elaborate: With or without a center tower and with or without turrets/cones on top of the towers.
The medieval and haunted gingerbread castles below are both WITH a center tower but WITHOUT the turrets. Add turrets, decorate it pink, and it becomes Cinderella's castle (leave out the bloody fountain too!)

To use your gingerbread castle template, you simply print the .pdf file (we suggest printing the pattern pages on thick, card stock paper, but regular is fine too), cut the pattern pieces out of paper, lay them on your rolled out gingerbread, cut along the lines, bake, assemble, and decorate. Don't forget to take pictures along the way!
Dimensions of the castle:
Outer towers and walls: 16"W x 16"D x 10"H (not including cone turrets)
Inner towers: 6"W x 6"D x 17"H (not including cone turrets)
Note: you can enlarge or shrink the castle by adjusting your printer settings.
