WOW. I mean, we literally can’t say that enough. The amount of creativity and dedication put into these buildings is absolutely mind blowing and something we can’t even begin to understand. So much work was put into all of them. Some of them were even built on official servers! We can’t post each photo made by them, but we’ll post a link to the album if it was included by them.
We mentioned this as a surprise on stream, but everyone who participated and followed those rules of the contest will receive a Turan DLC. We will email you individually and contact you about what platform you’d like it on!
Here you can see the Grand Prize Winner along with the 9 runner ups. I’m sure pictures just don’t do them justice. Top photos are the reference and the bottom is the recreation.
Grand Prize Winner
Hungarian Parliament Building by “Sheriff”
Runner Ups
Hanging Gardens of Babylon:
Pembroke Castle:
"It is based on the birthplace of King Henry VII of England, the real-world castle at Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. After several days of scouting for scale and majesty, and a few test builds for the right color stone, I chose this outcropping near the Bridge of the Betrayer for the castle knoll, as is in the picture. This presented some difficulties due to the distance from the shore to the rocky promontory, so I used color, angles and depth to let the sidewalk of the dock walls descend into the beach.
Due to perspective and necessary foreshortening, the challenge was how to create the splendor of the large towers while allowing the rock to speak for itself. The happy medium was eventually found, and Pembroke Castle virtually painted itself onto the cliff. An anxious handful of troops stands ready at the port as the Lord sends out a counter-raid – ominous lightning appears at the tower where Sag’s light once glowed…"
Ra’s ship from Stargate:
We strongly recommend checking out the imgur album for more pictures as well as added trivia about the construction! Ra's Ship from Stargate - Album on Imgur
Sovngarde from Skyrim:
“Recreated from “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim”, Sovngarde is the Nordic afterlife. The building itself is known as the “Hall of Valor” and I have painstakingly recreated it in Conan Exiles down to the last plate and cup on the tables.”

The Colosseum in Rome
This is from our very own @SirBowen! You can see more photos and the the incredible detail here: The Colosseum - Album on Imgur
“If you looked closely, you might have discovered some details.
The audience grouped into faction related fan blocks to cheer on their possible fighter. Since such an event is always something special, the audience brought blankets, pillows, food and drinks.
After all, such events can last several hours. In the middle of the arena there are snake pits and as in every bullring also wooden gates where the gladiator can look for protection from lions and other predators.
There are also additional weapons for gladiator fights, in case a gladiator is disarmed.
The arena itself is “multifunctional”, since gladiator fights, animal fights, chariot races and even knight tournaments with mounted lances can be carried out there. But in the end, if the dead one didn’t come immediately, the king or queen decides with thumbs up or thumbs down whether the loser can be granted mercy. And so I hope that I, dear jury, will also get a thumbs up from you for this Colloseum.”
Big Ben
Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter
Created on PS4 by Scott.
Neuschwanstein Castle
"This is a build of Neuschwanstein Castle, found in southwest Bavaria,
Germany. I recreated the complete exterior and interior to the best of
my ability using vanilla Conan Exiles building pieces and a multitude of
reference imagery, as well as floor plans I acquired.This was a challenging build to complete, particularly without being
able to use mods. Particularly difficult portions of this build include
having a ‘round’ tower continuing off of a square tower, as seen near
the front of this build, as well as the part of the main building that
is at an angle from the rest of the structure."

Matsumoto Castle in the city of Matsumoto
By Jeremy:
By RAHZEN:
“Definitely acquiring the Yamatai DLC (And others) last week prompted me to choose such an amazing monument to reporduce. There were however a few limitations I encountered. One noticieably being that there are no inverted ramps to make up the interior corners where the ramps connect, so I had to utilize the closest matching roof top inverted pieces. The trapped walls from which they would drop rocks from I had to improvise. And the same with the tiny windows they would shoot arrows and guns from, by being a little creative and flipping around the window building pieces to represent that. And furthest right section of the castle is actually a Moon viewing room where I used the imperial fence and pillars but it doesn’t quite to it justice. From the placement of the foundation castle walls and arches of each tier I put great thought into. Especially just where in the lands of Hyboria should I build it.”
Castle Grayskull from the He-Man universe
Fallingwater
Enterprise vs Borg
Bates house from the 1960s Hitchcock movie Psycho
Forum Iulium
“Forum and Temple’s shapes have been reproduced as accurately as possible in the game. The Forum and the Temple are reproduced in a 1:1 scale ratio, meaning that size and proportions are real. Aquilonian tiles have been used to make everything look as much close as possible to the Roman architectural style.”
Stormwind from World of Warcraft
Built by Crowangel on PS4.
