Hello everyone!
Today, I’m excited to share a new LEGO build with you, inspired by Arthurian legends: The Castle of Camelot.
Rather than basing it on an existing adaptation, I chose to create my own version to allow for more creative freedom.
For the castle’s design, I aimed to combine a classic medieval European fortress aesthetic for the outer walls with a more elaborate and fantastical style for the keep.
I’ve tried to incorporate as many iconic details as possible:
- First, the Round Table. It is located at the base of the keep. Due to size constraints, I had to make some compromises—there is just enough room for King Arthur and one other character around the table.
- Second, the sword in the stone. I created a small gap between two pieces where the sword can be inserted. The space is narrow enough to hold the sword in an almost vertical position but wide enough for it to be removed easily without forcing or risking damage to the piece.
- Of course, the knights of the Round Table wouldn’t be complete without the legendary chalice, the ultimate goal of their quest. I chose to represent it as a mystical vision appearing at the center of the Round Table, using transparent pieces. Naturally, the chalice and its stand can be removed, and a hidden compartment is provided for storage.
- A treasure room is located beneath the staircase on the left, where the knights have stored artifacts from their many adventures.
- An armory sits above the treasure room.
- A bedroom for Queen Guinevere is the central feature of the keep. A letter rests on a bedside table—could it be a secret message?
- At the very top of the keep is Merlin the Enchanter’s magical laboratory, filled with spellbooks and potions.
To bring the scene to life and provide a sense of scale, I included a few minifigures, working with the designs available in the software. You’ll find King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Merlin the Enchanter, and three knights of the Round Table: Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, and Sir Percival.
And, of course, what would a fantasy-themed build be without a few hidden frogs here and there?
I hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Thank you in advance, and have a great day!
