LEGO Castle Ideas

Castle-themed Lego sets are a classic staple of Lego building. With their unique architecture, castles are inspirational constructions, and Lego building blocks make them easy to construct. Since 1978 Lego has released 16 different series of castle sets. By continually coming out with new ideas and themes for such sets, Lego has kept the castle theme fresh for over 30 years.
  1. Classic Castle

    • From 1978 to 1983 Lego released the first of its castle Legos. This first series consisted of only five different building sets, two of which were promotional. Most of the pieces from this time were the standard Lego blocks. A few unique pieces such as swords, halberds, and coat of arms were produced.

    Castle Factions

    • With Lego Factions, Lego began to focus on producing specifically castle themed blocks.

      In 1984 Lego released its Castle Lego as its own series. It began by releasing two factions, Black Falcons and Crusaders. Each of these factions has its own unique aesthetic style. Beyond the purely military aspects of the early Castle Faction series, Lego also produced a number of civilian sets such as inns and blacksmiths. This civilian aspect did not continue in the later branches of Lego Castle.

      With their new Castle series, Lego also began to produce a large number of unique castle blocks and pieces. These included helmets, weapons and walls. The style of Lego Castle was entirely realistic in its portrayal of the Middle Ages until 1993 with the release of Dragon Masters. Dragon Masters marked a turn towards more fantasy elements in the Castle series.

      Ultimately, Lego produced ten factions, each with their own unique style. While each faction was different unto itself, they all existed within the same mythical world. Fright Knights was the final, and most aesthetically unique, of the Factions, until 1997, when Lego Castle moved in a new direction.

    Varying Factions

    • While the Factions era of the Lego Castle series consisted of unique sets that were still incorporated, Lego broke away from this model from 1998 to 2006. During this time Lego launched four new sets Ninja, Knights Kingdom, Knights Kingdom 2 and Viking. Each of these had themes and characters that were unique.

    Castle

    • The re-release of Lego Castle focuses on a Warcraft and Lord of the Rings style theme.

      Lego released Castle in 2007. This series moved to a theme inspired by Warcraft and Lord of the Rings, featuring humans fighting against Orcs and Undead.
