LEGO Disney 71040 Disney Castle

LEGO set 71040, Disney Castle, represents the Disney castle within the Disney theme. Released in 2016, it contains 4081 pieces and builds a large fairy tale style structure associated with the Disney license.

Disney Castle has a distinct position in the Disney theme because it focuses on a landmark setting rather than a single scene. The model presents the castle as a central backdrop for Disney characters and translates the license into a substantial architectural build.

The build uses 4081 pieces and emphasizes the mass of the castle, decorative façades and interior areas that can be used for display or character placement. The set includes 6 figures: Donald Duck (CMF), Mickey Mouse in Tuxedo, Minnie Mouse with Red with White Spots Dress and Bow, Daisy Duck, Tinker Bell and Disney Castle Knight / Coat of Armor.

This set suits Disney theme collectors, display builders and anyone looking for a castle that can also support character based play. Within the Disney range, it is best understood as a central architectural model, with an included figure selection that helps connect the building to the wider Disney setting.
