Description

Made for the classroom

Dacta was the education arm of LEGO®, aimed at schools and groups who work with bricks together. The Castle Set fits that purpose: rather than a single castle to copy, it offers material that several children can use to design scenes. At 347 pieces it is a practical quantity, easy to split up or pool. For anyone who wants history, storytelling or role play in a lesson, it makes a vivid starting point.

Fourteen figures is a lot

The number of minifigures stands out at once: fourteen figures among just 347 pieces is an unusually high share. It lets you cast whole scenes with guards, villagers and enemies without borrowing from other sets. That also makes the set appealing to collectors who like assembling big casts for medieval scenes. In group work every child can take a figure of their own, and with it a role in the story.

Dark walls, red and brown accents

Black and light grey suit walls, gates and towers, while red and brown add accents on roofs, banners, furniture and wooden parts. Together they create a classic castle look. The 73 different parts are a modest selection, which gives the set a clear, handy structure. In group use that is an advantage, as little time is lost searching for rare specialist bricks and the work can start straight away. Older children can also use the plain shapes to design layouts of their own.

Parts list and reuse

On this page you will find the complete parts list with colours and quantities, useful for checking a second-hand set. With “What can I build?” you can see which other models your bricks can make. The grey and brown basic parts are versatile and fit knights’ castles, villages or fortresses of your own design, so they stay useful even after the original has been taken apart. If you own several medieval sets, you can simply pool the bricks and build bigger.
