The basic shape of the castle is a pyramid. Wooden fasteners are needed so that the castle can also be decorated, giving it uniqueness and its own character.

The materials used are also important. Sand artists say that about 5,000 tons of sand available in Denmark have been used. However, 10% of the total mass is sand with a clay composition to keep the castle in shape.

Some of the sculptures on the façade are very fine, they also refer to a coronavirus pandemic depicting a syringe and other things.

A team of 30 sand artists was involved in the construction of the castle. After such work, it would be a sin to run the erected weather. Therefore, immediately after the creation of the last forms, the castle is covered with a mixture of glue to keep it as long as possible.

The annual sand sculpture festival is taking place at the castle construction site in Blokhus, northern Denmark, at a record time.
