LEGO: These IDEAS Castles Will Let You Relive Your Childhood

Black Knight’s LEGO Castle

The Black Knights had two major castle sets before being phased out in 1994. This 2,988 peice set brings them back in a big way. When closed, the castle is a fortress against all enemies with three lookout towers (one armed with a balista) and a sturdy drawbridge. Open it up and you’ll find a bustling village with a tavern, a smithy, a jail cell, and a throne room. It even comes with a mini Sea Serpent.

Bookend Towers

Keep all of your instruction booklets neat and organized with this pair of brick-built bookends. These great looking towers also have playability built in.

Known for their stability and fortitude, the Bookend Towers are a symbol to all who want to stand firm and defend those who can’t stand on their own. They are of immense importance, without them the enemy would have access to all knowledge and surely gain control of the kingdom. They are under constant watch, three elite soldiers stand guard at all times to protect the towers, for an enemy is always looking for a window to attack. You never know who may be lurking in the shadows. But don’t worry the towers have a well stocked armory and prison cell, just in case anyone gets any bright ideas.

Sinking Orcs LEGO Castle

Orcs are an opportunistic lot, and this bunch has claimed this abandoned castle as their own. They’ve modified it to their liking, making it a formidable fortress once again, even with its swampy footings.

At the front of the sinking castle is a watchtower that a lone Orc occupies who is kept warm by a campfire. To get to the main part of the castle there is a dock with a raft waiting to sail into the flooded courtyard. Here in the main fort, you can find the throne room, a gate house, an alchemy lab for a wizard and a tower that has a tree growing out of the top. The largest tower also is modular to allow easy access to the interior!
