For each issue of BrickJournal Magazine, the BrickNerd team creates instructions for a LEGO mini-model to go with the theme of the cover story. For their recent issue all about castles, we decided to make our own microscale LEGO castle called “Harmony.”

All Things In Harmony

Castles are iconic. From Neuschwanstein to Disney, their architecture sparks the imagination of heroic knights to magical fairy tales. For the castle theme of BrickJournal’s summer issue, we wanted to capture that same majestic feel and recreate it in microscale.

This castle is a fortress fit for royalty with soaring towers, turrets and more! The castle is also a love letter to the LEGO System. It has a fun variety of special elements spanning almost five decades of LEGO that all fit together flawlessly in perfect harmony.

Here are the step-by-step instructions you can scroll through to build all the art supplies.

The flowers used in the spires were introduced in 1977 with Homemaker sets which integrate seamlessly with the party hats introduced in Friends sets from 2016. The rest of the model features everything from Mario bases (2020) to constraction barrels (2012) to Unikitty horns (2014) and even some Technic as well -- a beautiful example of how well the LEGO System works together.

Lots of Castles

So get ready for your quest and start collecting pieces because this timeless castle is ready to be built!
