Description

A crowded stronghold

Twelve minifigures is a generous cast for a set of 679 pieces. It means the castle can be properly played with: guards on the walls, a court inside and knights getting ready to ride out. The set belongs to the Lion Knights, one of the early castle factions from LEGO®. The combination of a sizeable building and so many figures makes it exciting for children and a piece of brick history for collectors.

Grey stone and brown wood

Light grey and black set the tone, with brown and dark grey added on top. The result is the stony look of a medieval fortress without becoming dull. Brown parts pick out gates and wooden details, while the darker bricks give the walls some depth. The palette is typical for Eighties castle sets and combines easily with other knights or fortresses from the same era, so a bigger scene looks consistent. Banners, shields and horses in bright colours also stand out well against this calm background.

Seventy different parts

The 679 pieces come from only 70 different part types. That points to a set built largely from repeated basics: wall bricks, battlements, plates and a few special parts for gates and accessories. While building you quickly find a rhythm, and the castle grows layer by layer. If you want to check individual parts, the complete list with every type and quantity is further down this page. The small number of types also makes it easy to replace missing bricks if you are restoring a second-hand copy.

Display it or extend it

As a standing model the castle looks good on a shelf, and thanks to the figures it works just as well for play. If you already have the bricks, the “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which other castles or vehicles you could assemble from your collection. The grey bricks are especially versatile and suit walls, towers or fortresses of your own design. Over time a single set can easily grow into a whole castle complex.
