Mar 1, 2021 · A Castle to match your brand new Medieval Blacksmith! Now that we have an official medieval themed set, it's time for an actual castle. It needs to be detailed and pretty big not to look silly next to the Blacksmith building.

This set comes in a massive, tab-sealed box. Like the 40657 Forest Hideout, the styling leans heavily into retro theming and colors. The 90 years of play logo in the lower right is one of the few immediate indicators that you’re not looking at an actual vintage set. Well, that is if you ignore the glaring upgrades to this castle from the 1978 “All ...
One of the exciting things about this set is that the LEGO designers were able to enhance the look by releasing existing elements in new colors. Here are the ones that caught my eye as I worked through the build. We’ll start off with a bit of green – a new color for these elements. The small leaf in dark green is also a new shade for that piece. Mo...
Before we get to the castle, we start up with a small aperitif of a farmer bringing hay to market. It’s a simple build, but an effective one. In addition to the cart and hay bale, this section comes with the first of the set’s 22 minifigures, a cow, and a bird. Next up are a keg of ale and a food stand. These won’t be put in place until the very en...
We’ll be taking a look at each of the rooms in the castle as they come together. First up is the kitchen area with a table of food and an oven. Details here include a spice rack, hanging vegetables, and a tasty croissant. Oh, and a couple of pretzels. Truly this is a fortress with an international flavor.
This small room has a bit of mystery to it. There’s a printed 2×2 tile with a map on it, an archery target, and weapons scattered about. The minifigure that accompanies this part of the build is a lute-carrying Forest Guardian, who…suspiciously…has a quiver of arrows on his back. It’s implied that it’s his bow hanging on the wall there. Is this the...
As we move to the second story, the first windows appear. The build here is very clever: 1×4 tiles are mounted vertically using 1×1 SNOTbricks, leaving a quarter stud gap between them for light to get in. The first area upstairs is the music room, featuring a brick-built harpsichord. Here’s an early shot of it, before the walls of the castle obscur...
Moving back downstairs, the next section of the castle has a working water wheel and mill. There’s also a storage room with a bird’s nest and a loaf of bread. Right under a nest is not exactly the best place to keep fresh baked goods, but there’s a lot going on in this castle and they probably just ran out of room. The hopper for the mill is a cute...
Above the mill is the castle’s banquet hall. The table and chairs use bracket elements to add some twists and turn to the look. The scalloped edge of the table cloth (achieved by a repeated row of 1×1 half-circle tiles) adds a touch of elegance, as do the holly centerpieces. Behind the table hangs another banner of Lion Knight colors, as well as th...
Not all of the castle is made from grey stone; the upper story features a bit of woodworking. SNOT connections create a narrow patterns of lines that closely resemble classic LEGO wall elements. Inside those walls is a children’s bedroom. And, in that bedroom, is a great Easter egg. Yes, if you squint a little, you can recognize that pile of yellow...
Time to highlight another wonderful bit of construction wizardry! The square balcony area outside of the kid’s room is built on the hinged section of the larger castle, so it has to go through some contortions when changing display modes. The magic happens thanks to this heavily hinged bit of masonry. Here’s a shot of the folding action in motion f...
