LEGO: Build A Medieval Kingdom With These IDEAS Sets
These fantastic medieval LEGO IDEAS sets will take you back to your childhood. They just need your vote to become reality!
Creators of these sets hope their design is added to LEGO’s long history of castle sets and the villages that surround them. If you want to build a new take on the Forestmen’s hideout or turn your minifig medieval LEGO village into a minifig medieval LEGO kingdom, you need to vote for these sets.
Raven Knight’s Harbor
This 3,197 piece set recreates the cities near the sea with fishing boats unloading frechly caught fish to sell at the nearby market. When you rotate the model around, you’ll see a furnished office for the harbormaster, a gaurd tower, and an inn with a dining room. There’s even a hide out pirates use to store thier smuggled goods.
Forestmen Outpost
The Forestmen sets were the first I got as a kid, so I have a soft spot for the theme. Build a new hideout with this set that includes a writing desk with a candle, a telescope to keep an eye on enemies, and torches. The exterior features the Forestmen coat of arms and a unique tiled roof. Outside, you’ll find a fire pit with a stump nearby to chop wood, and some wild critters and plants. There’s even an archery target available for practicing.
This set hits a lot of nostalgic notes, from the black tree trunk to the bycocket-wearing minifig wielding a bow. My six-year-old self would have loved this. My middle-aged self voted for it.
Medieval Fantasy Tavern
Take a break from adventures in this well-stocked tavern and inn. The exterior features a sloping roof with colorful tiles and classic Tudor details. Inside you’ll find a decorated main hall with tables and benches to gather around, and a counter for serving food and drinks. On second floor travellers can find quiet room to get some rest before heading out on the road again. It comes with a bunch of minifigs – including a jester with a lute to play.
Medieval Museum
While it’s not the same as the musuems we have now, cabinet of curiosities were not uncommon in the medieval era. This brick built version houses a lion knight mannequin, shelf of frogs, a suit of armour, Viking shields and four tables featuring a variety of collectibles for vistors to examine.
Wonder rooms, unlike modern museums, lacked rigorous organisation, and ignored era, item type and coherence. In a wonder room, you would find armour next to paintings, jars of insects tucked behind shelves of books, and even a taxidermy sheep or two. These private collections, maintained by the rich and royal, were precursors to the museums of today. In fact, many of the worlds most famous museums got started thanks to hefty donations from early modern wonder rooms.

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.
Medieval Watermill
This mill has several floors packed with little details. The grain mill is on first floor – there’s a grinder driven by the waterwheel with a lot of grain sacks and barrels, as well as a storeroom. Above you’ll find the miller’s rooms, including a dining table piled with food. What stood out to me first is the stonework on the exterior of the building. It’s a nice touch.
Attack on Tower Gate
Orcs are on the attack, and they’ve got a troll – don’t let them get past the massive gate and into the city beyond. This 2,706 piece build features a tall round tower, a fortified gate, and a forest of trees. Behind the gate, you’ll find farm animals. It also includes a big, brick-built troll to terrorize the knights and archers on guard.
Castle of the Counts
With the retirement of the Lions’ Knight Castle last year, there’s a hole in the lineup. This castle could fill the void. It is inspired on Gravensteen – Chateau des Comtes of Ghent – in Belgium, which was built in 1180. The brick-built version up for vote is a dark and brooding structure with large arches, hulking towers, and a massive gate with an internal dropgate at its entrance. It also features wooden parapets, towers, arches, and buttresses. The set opens up to reveal a detailed interior and all of the minifigs needed to keep the castle running.
