LEGO set 31168, “Medieval Horse Knight Castle”, depicts a medieval castle setting connected with knights and a horse. Released in 2025 under the Creator theme, specifically Creator 3-in-1, it contains 1371 pieces and 6 minifigures.

The model sits within Creator 3-in-1 and uses a medieval subject built around a castle, knights and a small civilian presence.

It is aimed at builders who want a self-contained medieval display, a play setting, or a Creator collection piece. Within Creator 3-in-1, it belongs among subject-led models rather than licensed vehicles or characters, and its minifigure selection gives the castle a courtly, defensive and village context.
