![]() The tower module has a watch tower, a prison underneath the tower, and a market next to the prison. The main gate has two towers, with one of the towers having a medieval bathroom. There are quite a bit of details in each module. The finished castle comes in three modules: the main gate, the tower, and the throne room. The beams underneath the gatehouse are a facade and do not span the width of the gatehouse, but from the outside it is very reminiscent of real world wood beam application.įigure 1: the four beams under the gatehouse is just a facade and do not go all the way back,īut in real world application, these beams would span the width of the gatehouse and provide structural support Having a civil engineering background, the whole building process and final product reminded me of real world building construction technique. At 1,426 pieces, the Medieval Castle came in seven bags, putting the castle together was not a one-night event, especially given all the details in the set, and in order to appreciate some of the building techniques, it is definitely worthwhile to take one’s time and spread out the building process over several nights.

The last castle set was King’s Castle released in 2013, since then, there have been a few medieval themed mini-sets, two battle packs, and the Nexo Knights line. I’m REALLY excited for this, and can’t wait to get this set in-hand for a review, and who knows, maybe a side by side with Black Falcon’s Fortress.It’s been a while since LEGO released a castle set. It definitely looks quite modern, and not quite the nostalgic re-creation of 6074 Black Falcon’s Castle that everyone was hoping for (no horses!), but with 3 Creator modes, and plenty of smaller models to build such as the brick-built dragon. ![]() The other two alternate builds feature a tall tower-like outpost, and a Medieval Fair.
