Gold spires at the tops of the roof peaks, turret peaks and roof dormers. Sizes approximately: larger building is 6.5" wide x 4.5" deep x 7"' tall; the smaller building is 4.5" wide x 4" deep x 6" tall. This 1st version was created only for a short time. It had four more spires located at the bottom left and right of the two front dormers as seen in this still pictute. These 4 additional spires caused this 1st version to be called the 10 spire version since the 2nd version has a total of 6 spires on the peak, turrets, and dormers. This 2 piece set is reminiscent of the Disney Theme Park Fantasyland Castle. Gold trim and blue roof along with multiple turrets and gables make this a very distinctive building.

- Wikipedia Definition of Spire - Spires have two functions. The first is to proclaim a martial power. A spire, with its reminiscence of the spear point, gives the impression of strength. The second is to reach up toward the skies. The celestial and hopeful gesture of the spire is one reason for its association power. A spire on a cathedral or castle is often seen as a symbol of the wealth, power, and prestige of those within.
