![]() ![]() The set has a relatively small piece count of just over 500 pieces, most of which are large parts, making for a monotonous and dumbed-down build. King Leo's Castle was released in 2000 under the first version of the Knight's Kingdom subtheme. While this set looks significantly better than the Castle of Morcia, we're just not a fan of the peculiarities of the Knights' Kingdom II concept. The piece count is one of the smallest on this list, but it does contain some useful parts for your own castle construction, some of which are rare or exclusive. The build suffers from some of the same drawbacks as the Castle of Morcia, such as the sparse interior, which is one of the reasons it places low on our list. In addition to their dull designs, the helmets look oversized and impractical. However, the minifigure selection is still very humdrum. It came at the end of the subtheme's life and by that time LEGO had thankfully got rid of the ridiculous multi-coloured knights in favour of more muted colour palettes. ![]() The Mistland's Tower was another set from the experimental Knights' Kingdom II range. The parts selection is the set's only saving grace, as you get plenty of accessories, flags, and scorpions! 21. We feel the effort would have been better channelled into improving the build, which as it stands is rather simplistic. You have to give LEGO some credit for trying something new, and while it did enhance the playability, it could have been executed far better. The unique feature of this set was the ability to rotate various elements of the castle around to change the colour scheme from the royal blue to the dark red of the villains. This is clearly evident in the cast of minifigures, as they more closely resemble Power Rangers than medieval knights. From the front, the build looks substantial despite its modest piece count, but turn it around and you will see a disappointingly barren interior.Īround the time this set was released, LEGO had fallen on hard times and were making some experimental models to try and turn their fortunes around. The Castle of Morcia appeared in the first wave of sets and came in at 637 pieces. The box art, minifigures, and set designs paint a fantastical and other worldly ambiance. The Knights' Kingdom II subtheme ran from 2004 to 2006 and departed from the conventional castle look. ![]() Strongholds belonging to certain factions, such as the Forestmen, Ninjas, and Trolls are not considered to be castles in the traditional sense and therefore have been excluded from this list. The sets that can be categorically termed castles is debatable, but we have eliminated all those sets that depict accompanying buildings, such as gatehouses and outposts. This includes all those released under the Castle theme, as well as recent additions that have come out under the Creator theme and Bricklink's Designer Programs. Therefore, we thought it an apt time to cast a critical eye over all of LEGO's other historically inspired castles and fortresses to rank them all from worst to best. The LEGO castle concept is going through a renaissance this year, with the release of the huge Lion Knights' Castle, as well as the Forest Hideout GWP (Gift With Purchase). It's also one of the most popular, especially amongst older LEGO enthusiasts who attach a strong sense of nostalgia to the classic castles of the 1980s and 1990s. LEGO Castle is one of the longest running themes, having been introduced in 1978 alongside Town and Space. All LEGO Castles Ranked From Worst To First ![]()
