Set 6090, Royal Knight's Castle, depicts a fortress for the Royal Knights faction within the Castle theme. Released in 1995, it contains 763 parts and 8 minifigures, covering royal, military and ghostly roles in a medieval setting.

Royal Knight's Castle belongs to the Royal Knights subtheme of Castle. The model represents a medieval stronghold for a royal faction, giving the king, knights and archer a central base while also leaving room for darker story elements through the skeleton and ghost figures.
