10332 Medieval Town Square is a great starting point for a medieval display, but with LEGO Castle long retired, there are limited ways to complement it. Here are some modern models and minifigures that you can use to build a bigger medieval world.
It’s bustling with people, the blacksmith’s busy fixing swords and there’s finally a goat again. 10332 Medieval Town Square is the latest LEGO Icons set inspired by the Castle theme, giving a beautiful update to 10193 Medieval Market Village from 2009. With a range of Medieval inspired shops (or should that be shoppes?) and a cosy inn, there’s plenty for the minifigures to do. But else do you need to create a sprawling medieval display?
Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, has got you covered better than a shield bearer, and we’ve put together a list of amazing historical LEGO sets that aren’t just knights on horses!
10305 Lion Knights’ Castle
An obvious choice to pair with a town square is a castle. Considering its busy with tax collectors and knights, then 10332 Medieval Town Square is probably near a castle and its rulers. 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle a striking centrepiece to have towering behind the town and adds so much possibility to the role-play options. With even more Lion Knights then you can get ready for battle or have the Lady of the Lions visit her people in a grand parade.
31120 Medieval Castle
Now, maybe you want a castle but not the price tag of a king’s ransom? If so, then 31120 Medieval Castle could be the set you’re looking for. It perfectly captures the outer façade of some castle walls, with colourful banners hanging from the towers and even a little drawbridge. And as a fun, fantastical element there’s also a dragon to hoard treasure or maybe it’s friendly and could protect the townsfolk.
40601 Majisto’s Magical Workshop
For a touch of magic then this gift with purchase model from 2023 is one that’s definitely worth tracking down on the resale market. Yet another remake of a classic set from 1993, 40601 Majisto’s Magical Workshop (review) has been given a modern update so it won’t look out of place next to these newer Castle sets. This set also comes with an exclusive Dragon Knight minifigure who’s gaining knowledge ready to go on a quest.

71032 Collectible Minifigures Series 22
Okay, so this isn’t actually a LEGO set but rather a specific minifigure from Series 22. The troubadour. You’re probably wondering what on earth is a troubadour? Well it’s the French version of a minstrel – a travelling poet who would serenade crowds with their music. Usually they performed for nobility, but they might play in taverns or inns to try and make their fortune too, so this character is perfect to play for the minifigures in 10332 Medieval Town Square.
70402 The Gatehouse Raid
If you don’t mind dipping into the back catalogue a bit, then this would work well with the other sets on this list. The oldest model here might sound a little boring but it actually makes sense for building a medieval town. Gatehouses were used to check villagers to ensure rivals or foreign spies didn’t enter a kingdom and to check goods brought in for trade. 70402 The Gatehouse Raid is also helpfully built in the colours of the Lion Knights, so it works with all the other sets on this list.
Those are some of the LEGO sets that would be great for making a medieval display, but there will surely be more historically themed sets on the way – so make sure to keep your falcon swooping on the lookout!
