The LEGO Group is launching LEGO Ideas Downton Abbey, a 4,711-piece building set designed for adult fans. Inspired by the beloved TV series and movies created by Carnival Films, the detailed model of Downton Abbey based on the real-life Highclere Castle invites builders to answer the bell, cross the threshold, and step into a world of sweeping architecture and secrets.
A Tribute to the Award-Winning Franchise
The set pays tribute to the award-winning franchise, allowing fans to explore the division of life "upstairs" and "downstairs" in a stately Edwardian home.
The set's modular design allows builders to lift off the top level to explore the kitchen, servants' hall, and Mr Carson's office below, before ascending to the grand dining room, main hall, and library. From the exterior architecture and the cedar tree to the interior details, the set serves as an elegant home or office decor piece.
Authentic Period Details and Minifigures
Builders will discover authentic period details, including a mix of lighting sources, an early electric mixer in the kitchen, and a 1910s–1920s candlestick telephone in Mr Carson's office. The set also includes historical portraits, dining etiquette layouts, and a servants' hall dining table arranged strictly by rank.
The set includes 13 detailed Minifigures representing the Season 6 household: The Dowager Countess, Lord Grantham, Lady Grantham, Lady Mary, Lady Edith, Tom Branson, Mr Carson, Mrs Hughes, Mr Bates, Anna Bates, Thomas Barrow, Mrs Patmore and Daisy Parker. Each minifigure features double-sided face prints, and additional clothing elements specifically designed for seated positions at the dining table.
Fan Designer and Easter Eggs
The LEGO Ideas Downton Abbey product idea was originally submitted by Czech Fan Designer Sebastian Veselka as part of the LEGO Ideas crowdsourcing platform. LEGO Ideas invites fans to submit product ideas, which are then voted on by the community before being considered for production as official LEGO sets.
Sebastian said: “Rebuilding Downton Abbey as a LEGO set felt like the perfect way to celebrate the series in a personal way, bringing together my love of British architecture, my memories of watching the show with my family, and the atmosphere of the 1920s. Seeing the project reach 10,000 supporters in just three months was incredible. I’m so grateful to everyone who supported it and can’t wait for fans to travel back in time and step inside the Crawley family’s iconic home in LEGO brick form.”
The building experience is filled with society secrets and below-stairs discoveries, including easter eggs referencing Sebastian Veselka. Builders can search for the servants' bell board featuring a playful "LEGO room" label, newspapers bearing the fan designer's initials (SV), and a heart-shaped tree base nodding to the series' romantic scenes.
