Forest Keep

I spent three months building Forest Keep — a full Valheim castle designed around presence, purpose, and story. In this video, I break down everything I learned along the way: what makes a castle feel grounded, how to design functional spaces that still look lived in, and how storytelling can shape the entire structure.

From the gatehouse and courtyards to the Great Hall, dormitory, and inner keep, every part of this build pushed me to level up as a designer. If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration for your next Valheim base, I hope this sparks something for you.
