Childhood dreams reimagined! This mighty fortress isn’t just a castle—it’s a kingdom of adventure. 🏰

• A moving drawbridge to keep out intruders? Check. 🌉



• A secret dock for daring escapes? You bet. 🚣



• A boat loaded with treasure 🏆 (and crab sidekick 🦀)? Absolutely.

And because every kingdom needs charm, there's even a tiny frog to keep watch. 🐸

But here’s the real magic — it’s hollow inside, perfect for stashing your own royal loot. 🪙💎💍 Classic castle vibes with a modern twist, built for play, display, and a touch of nostalgia. 🏰

It's the castles of our childhood—where epic battles were fought on carpeted floors and dragons lurked behind couch cushions. The adventure is back with this charming 218-piece build, perfect for kids and nostalgic adults alike, easy to assemble but packed with medieval fun!

Here's a horse that looks like it escaped the castle. Thankfully the SUV and trailer can haul it where it needs to be. [ad]

The knights on majestic horseback are ready for battle—who is the bravest, the noble Red Knight or the fearless Blue Knight? ⚔️ Classic fun, reimagined—because growing up doesn’t mean giving up adventure!

The Challenge

I submitted this set as an entry into Lego Ideas (Lego Ideas is a division of Lego that allows people to share creations and enter challenges. Then fans can vote for their favorite models). This month's theme is nostalgia, a fresh look at the Lego sets we loved as kids. (voting starts May 12, 2025). Comment what you think I should build next. (You can see my entry on the Lego Ideas website here)

When voting begins (starting May 12, 2025), I urge you to vote for my entry please!

This knight is ready for battle, armed with shining armor and weapons. [ad]

How can I get this Lego set?

For now, you'll need to contact me privately to get your own set. If my submission is selected by judges and voted by fans, it could become an official GWP (gift with purchase) available in Lego stores and on the Lego website.

If instead my dreams are shattered, I plan to upload the digital set and step-by-step instructions to my Bricklink account where you can order the parts and access the PDF instructions.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the free sets and instructions I have already made available there, including a bunny rabbit puppet, a tiny fly, and a space shuttle with rocket boosters and launch pad.

Ready to build your medieval army? This set includes 12 knights with weapons. [ad]

Did you build a Lego castle? I'd love to see it. Ask a parent or guardian to take a picture and send it to me. What do you think we should build next?
