  That would be [Attack On Weathertop](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Attack-on-Weathertop-9472), from the Lord Of The Rings series. Looks like it's missing a fair few pieces, but it's still mostly intact.
  
  EDIT: Oops, top picture didn't load before I posted. The gate is from [Mines Of Moria](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Mines-of-Moria-9473); the fold-out hill is [Attack On Weathertop](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Attack-on-Weathertop-9472).
