After seeing so many stronghold's this one is by far the most complete and perfect stronghold i have ever seen, and i've seen a lot of stronghold's this one is utterly MASSIVE! all around the stronghold outside walls and underneath are abandoned mines that go all the way down to bedrock level and a huge underground ravine on one side.
I would say that this stronghold is 98% complete, it has a huge library with complete chandelier, fountain, cells, stairways, light tower room, a double storage room adjoined the second room is not quite complete which is why i say 98% but have a look for yourself.
So for those of you who are still looking for a stronghold or just want to check out an absolutely amazing stronghold here you are, there is no better example of a stronghold than this one. Have fun and Enjoy!

Just make sure you put the seed in correctly and you should not have a problem, it's a world that i created in alpha that i loved so i just took the seed and plugged it into 1.8 and had it spawn all the new updates including this beautiful stronghold.
I don't get a stronghold at this location. Mine appear at:
1: 608, -240
2: 64, 816
3: -720, -432
I generated the world with 1.9p3 and I don't see one anywhere near -375/1000 either. I might roll back to 1.8.1 and regenerate it and see. Maybe the stronghold changes have caused them to spawn in different locations?
Update: hah, typo! In the OP's posting he says "500752375570891329" for the seed. It should be "5000752375570891329", from the screenshot (three 0's at the beginning). Thanks to Kenneth Helvig for pointing this out to me, I sure didn't notice. Time to try again...
My original post follows, just for the heck of it.

I haven't tried looking at these locations yet, but I have the same problem: no stronghold at X: -348 Y: 33 Z: 1036 or thereabouts, and I'm using 1.8.1. There's a nice big natural cave system, and using Eihort I found some mine tunnels not too far away, but nothing like a giant library, etc. Here's what I see:
Using Eihort, I explored the area, just in case. Here's a view from below:
Not much there other than natural tunnels. By the way, this whole area is fully under water, I had to get to it from an island some distance away (which was a fun adventure in itself, since with the new "giant ravines" generator code there was a very tall underwater waterfall I had to get through). Here's the view from above:
Anyway, very strange that I can't get the same thing you do with your seed, OP. There's some whole bit about how there are only three strongholds per world, so maybe these do not generate from the seed directly, but it matters how you explore?
I'd love to visit this giant stronghold someday, but it looks like this seed for some reason doesn't work for me.

A for you!!! :smile.gif:
It is amazing, i actually got lost inside it lol. Found some melon seeds in the bottom layer near an abandoned mine.
Abandoned mine in one of the stronghold hallways, wonder why they left those.

This may be noobish, but could I expect this to work in 1.9?
