Wooden Toy Castles

Medieval forts, enchanted towers, and knights in shining armour - wooden toy castles are an ideal way to fire the imagination of any young girl or boy. With a toy castle, your child can play action and adventure games with knights of the dark ages. They can act out historic battles with Roman legions. Or perhaps they would prefer to stage stories of princesses and other characters from fairy tales. Wherever their imagination takes them, your children can explore their own toys’ kingdom at home with these exciting wooden castles, toys, and matching medieval furniture and accessories. The toys and figures on this site are scaled to fit into the same play scheme, so your castles can be used to as a home for soldiers, knights – or even the odd dragon!

Wooden toy castles – a perennial favourite!

Still sought-after toys today, wooden toy castles and forts have been popular with children and adults alike since the 19th century. Much more fun than pictures of castles in books, the earliest versions were made in central Europe, especially Germany; the trade in wooden castle toys soon took off, with stiff competition between British and German toy castle manufacturers. Wooden toy castles thrived until the 1960s, when cheaper plastic castle models flooded the market. It was not until the last decade that traditional wooden castles came back into favour, especially with collectors.

We think you’ll agree that these wooden castle toys have a certain charm and authenticity that sets them apart from the plastic versions – as well as exciting an educational interest in castles through the ages. Encourage your kids to do more at home than play computer games – buy them a real wooden toy castle!
