King Gerard's castle

King Gerard's Castle is the home of King Gerard and Clockwork Smurf. It has been used from time to time in the cartoon series and the official page is here.

Usage
In The Reluctant Dark Knight when King Gerard is introduced, his Grand Ball is thrown in this castle with the intention of meeting possible suitors. It is held in the dance hall which is an extensive room with tall ceilings and glass windows, smooth stone floors, and three doorways: two are on one side and the third is on the opposing side. They lead to the kitchen and dining areas, the spiral staircase up to the tower of his majesty's private chambers, or the entrance from the courtyard.

Season 11
As he and Clockwork become more associated with Falla and Peewit, this castle is seen more frequently. More to come later!

Appearance
The castle is built with stone that can look grey or cream toned depending on the light of day with spires topped by red domes. There are a number of open windows with sill stones meant to support people leaning to look out them, two balconies on either side of the inner towers, and a drawbridge facing the East side - a large moat encircles the castle.

The surrounding area is grassy with a smooth dirt path connecting the drawbridge to the main road beyond the black iron-clad gates. The gates extend entirely around the castle perimeter, topped with spokes on each bar: there are also thick pillars between every seven bars, and lastly, two guards stand at the front entrance to inspect whomever seeks access into the castle.
