The Iron Keep is the largest castle/keep map I've done to date, at 60 x 47, providing a huge range of potential movement and scenarios to unfold within its walls.

I based the layout and components (with some obvious changes/adaptations) upon this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2a/e3/01/2ae301a76bfe245036d442ef610f4677.gif, as I wanted to try and recreate a fairly realistic castle, though obviously some of my design choices differ from the layout/plan of the original.

I've created 3 total floors, including a 1st & 2nd Floor with Interior Quarters and a 3rd floor serving as the castle Ramparts.

With the size and population, the Keep is almost a small city unto itself.

It could easily serve a variety of purposes:

Starting area for a new party assigned service to the local Lord.

Quest hub for some portion of the adventure, providing a base of operations across several sessions and missions/encounters.

A variety of singular scenarios from assault upon the castle to dinner with the Lord to being captured by a corrupt Baron to thwarting assassination attempts to prisoner rescues to infiltration missions.

I hope you like it, and would love to hear your comments and feedback!
