The Build

The Medieval Town Defense is a snippet of the defensive walls that protect the medieval town ofFelsa.Packed with details and features showcasing medieval life from a diverse array of perspectives, the text below details what lies within and around the walls of the Medieval Town Defense.

Armory and Barracks. After a long days work, the Guards love nothing more than to hang up their weapons and armor and crawl into bed. Includes bunk beds, weapon and armor stands, and a desk.

Stable. For a small cost, the Stable Master will give your horse the best care in the region, guaranteed! Includes a workbench, tool rack, food storage, and trough. However,could there be something hiding under that hay?

Pig Sty.Managed by the Stable Master, the Pig Sty is home to a messy pig who loves nothing more than to roll around in the mud all day.

Side Tower. The Side Tower is not only the best vantage point over the side entrance, but also allows ladder access to the first floor and the battlements.

Main Tower.Home to the Master Archer's workshop and small companion, the main tower provides the Guards with an advantageous viewpoint that overlooks the entire town. A banner proudly drapes from the tower, assuring all incoming travellers that they are safe...

Rooftop Training area.The Knight's training ensures that the Guards reach their full potential. Includes a weapons rack, and anoddly familiar training dummy...

Sheriff's Office. A cosy office fit for a queen... well, a Sheriff. Includes a desk and bookshelf for all of your administrative needs.

Sheriff's Quarters. Whether the Sheriff has had a day in the office or a day battling dissidents, he always retires to his quarters above the stable. Includes a bed, a side table, a chest, and storage for weapons and armour.

Rug Merchants Cart and Market Stall. The Merchant's Market Stall is neatly arranged with beautiful rugs made from the finest fabrics, and his cart stacked high with rugs from distant civilisations. Could he be working with the outlaws?

About the design

The build can easily be separated into distinct compartments, each showcasing a different aspect of medieval life. The ground floor separates into 2 different segments, while the 1st floor separates into 7 segments, each with their own unique design and features.

When designing, I steered away from the idea of a portcullis early on as I felt as if it has been overdone in other available LEGO sets. Furthermore, the design is too simple and takes up too much space, which could be used otherwise for more interior design.

When creating the Medieval Town Defense, I set out to create a design which looks great displayed on its own, but could also compliment other sets in the Castle theme. During the design process, I wanted to stay faithful to the design philosophy behind the Medieval Town Square and Lion Knights' Castle, while also creating something which felt new and unique. The Medieval Town Defense will look good in any collection, regardless of whether or not you already own any of the pre-existing Castle sets.

The Medieval Town Defense contains 2672 pieces and 9 unique minifigs.
