LEGO set 7946 “King's Castle” depicts a royal fortress from the Castle theme, within the Kingdoms subtheme. Released in 2010, it contains 933 pieces and frames the conflict between the Lion Knights and the Dragon Knights.
“King's Castle” belongs to Castle, specifically to Kingdoms, a medieval line built around opposing factions. The model represents the Lion side’s stronghold and serves as a main setting for siege play, defence scenes and royal court storytelling.
The build uses 933 pieces and includes 8 minifigures. The lineup is Lion Knight, Wide Brim Helmet, Lion Knight, Archer, Helmet, Quiver, King, Lion King, Red Plume, Lion Knight, Wide Brim Helmet, Beard, Lion Knight, Archer, Helmet, Quiver, Stubble, plus three Dragon Knight figures with black or dark green equipment. The listed helmets, quivers, armour and plumes clearly define military roles.
The set is suited to play, display and collecting. In a Kingdoms collection, it can stand as the fortified royal base of the Lion faction, while the Dragon Knight minifigures immediately provide an opposing force. It therefore works as a self contained medieval scene and as a central Castle model around which other sets can be arranged.
