Coming in 2025-2026… Cinderella’s Enchanted Castle

Plans to make his matchstick version of Cinderella’s castle had been rumored for many years, but the project kept getting pushed back as Patrick devoted his time and efforts to building other models for Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Finally, the time has come! Patrick began gluing matchsticks together for the castle in March of 2024. Progress continues, although the castle will not be completed until summer 2026. The multi-level castle will measure nine feet tall, eight feet wide and seven feet deep from front to back. The castle is expected to take about 3/4 of a million matchsticks to complete.
