## Key points

- LEGO’s Downton Abbey recreates Highclere Castle’s facade and interiors.
- The nearly 5,000-piece set has six rooms and 13 minifigures.
- Detailed furnishings make good use of the compact rooms.

## Summary

LEGO has released a large Downton Abbey set based on Highclere Castle, the real English country house used as the show’s setting. It recreates the castle’s ornate front while opening at the back to show six familiar rooms, making the building both a display model and an interior play space.

The set contains nearly 5,000 pieces across 35 bags and took the reviewer several weeks to build. Its six rooms include the Crawleys’ dining room, main hall and library, alongside the servants’ kitchen, hall and Carson’s office, with detailed furnishings throughout. It also includes 13 minifigures; the reviewer found the repeated structural sections of the exterior the least engaging part of the build.
