This is my interpretation of Van Richten's Tower from the module, Curse of Strahd. I've enjoyed working on the last few of these and figured we could keep the ball rolling!
The map depicts an old, ruined tower on a small island surrounded by the murky waters of a large lake. The island is connected to land by a small gravel causeway and the lake is set among the wooded foothills of the surrounding mountainside.
The tower has been home to many occupants, including a powerful wizard that transformed into a lich, a vampire hunter and, eventually, another who would follow in his footsteps. The tower is dressed according to the module, and I have also included a CLEAN version, should you wish to use the tower for some other purpose.
The tower has [4] total floors and a rooftop, all provided with the base level and a PNG transparent tile that you can lay over the map as the PC's navigate the various floors. There is some scaffolding in the exterior side of the tower providing an alternate way into some of the upper levels.

We've ALSO got another great collaboration with James RPG Art for a wonderful concept scene and animation!
James' RPG Art makes animated scenes to help players visualise environments and add immersion and tone to your games. He has created over 300 scenes from official WotC adventures and many unique locations that are often found in a D&D adventure. He releases 4 new locations each month for his patrons.
Here's the illustration:
And here's an example of the map (included as attachment at bottom of post):
And here are the extended levels:

Even if you aren't playing this module, the tower would make a great location for you to explore with your party, either as dressed for the module, or via the clean version that could eventually be owned by the party, or perhaps the home of an NPC, BBEG or other character within your greater campaign.
As always, we also have a great Sprite created by Katsudon Art of the severed head of a local that was kept in the tower, a source of information for those with ways to speak with the dead.
I hope you enjoy the map and can create some fun adventures!
