LEGO set 40478, “Mini Disney Castle”, depicts a Disney castle in a reduced format and belongs to the Disney theme. Released in 2021, it contains 567 pieces and presents a compact version of a familiar Disney subject.

Set 40478, “Mini Disney Castle”, translates a Disney castle into a small LEGO display model. Within the Disney theme, it serves as a condensed representation of a recognizable landmark, with the emphasis placed on the castle outline and licensed identity rather than on a large play scene.

The set contains 567 pieces and includes 1 minifigure: Mickey Mouse, Tuxedo with Red Bow Tie. That minifigure connects the architectural model with a central Disney character.

It is suited to Disney collectors, fans of small display builds, and builders who want a concise castle representation. Among Disney sets, it works as a complementary item, especially for collections that bring together characters, locations, and symbols from the license without requiring a larger layout.
