Introduction

The Medieval Market is a celebration of historical craftsmanship and community life from the Middle Ages. Inspired by European market squares that served as the beating heart of medieval towns, I wanted to create a LEGO model that not only captures the architectural charm of the period but also tells the story of daily life through its various sections.

While designed to display beautifully, the model offers extensive play opportunities. The marketplace setting naturally encourages storytelling and role-play scenarios centered around trade, craftsmanship, and medieval daily life.

Design Features

The structure includes seven distinct but interconnected sections, all accessible via a network of stairs and ladders:

The Library: A scholarly haven with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
The Armory: Where guards and knights store their weapons and armor, featuring weapon racks and armor stands.
The Tavern: A two-story gathering place for travelers and locals, complete with tables, goblets, and barrels.
The Bakery: With its brick oven.
The Poet's Chamber: A quiet space for creativity, featuring a lute and writing desk.
The Blacksmith: Complete with forge, anvil, and tools of the trade across multiple work areas.
The Central Square: With its decorative fountain, market stalls with colorful awnings.
