Guess it’ll look similar to this (BlueBrixx, legit not clone)

That's amazing, but is that only 3500 pieces?  If so, sign me up.

No that’s much more detailed at just under 7500 pcs but posted to given an idea of possible layout/design.

Think Himeji scale just built up more with the castle itself rather than the surrounding landscape.

It sounds like set 21063 is the Neuschwanstein Castle, 3455 pieces, August 1 release, do not find the cost yet.  Anyone have a picture or the cost value of the set?

Rumours have it at 270€, which would be significantly bigger than Notre Dame's 230€.

[Fairsy]

I've finally got around to start building Notre Dame, is an excellently crafted set - and have ordered Trevi fountain....disappointing for yet another model to be redesigned and remade [as I have all the Architecture collection built and on display]

I'd love for them to go back to some of the very early models, the simplicity of them is what drew me into the collection - somewhere in that £/$/€50 price point.....every one now is so expensive

[jluck]

This page in German seems to insinuate Neuschwanstein Castle will be released on August 1st, contain 3455 pieces and cost €269.99

Not sure if this is new info or just recirculating rumor at this point.

I found an image of the new architecture castle leaked on instagram. I don’t anything about the source but it looks pretty awesome if real.

Interesting and a nice colour palette even if it looks like a remake (in size and scale) of the Harry Potter Castle & Grounds set, with the welcome addition of a built up “baseplate” that replicates the look of some vintage sets (which probably accounts for the extra 800 pcs). 

That price tag though. Ouch. 269€ is very hard to justify.

Can we do a forced perspective display with some German-themed minifigs lined up in front? LOL.

Pretzel Girl, Pretzel Boy, etc...(what other German minifigs are out there?)

How about re-enacting the Castle escape scene from Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade

Saw a rumor today for 21064 to be released on 1st Jan 2026 with a price around US $70.  Maybe a skyline or smaller building.

It's great to see them making a smaller set again.  The detail on the larger sets is great. But most of my favorite Architecture sets were under $100.

[Herky]

To follow up, there is a post on a facebook page for 21064 at $80 now and it is a 958 piece set for Paris...which kind of makes no sense to me, so treating this as a rumor for now until we get more info, anyone have more info?

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur

Singapore Skyline set was 857 pieces for $60 so it doesn't seem too farfetched to me.

While I know Notre Dame was a church, would they do another church so quickly in the line?

[Robert8]

Do you think we'll get an updated White House set at some point?

[icm]

Ugh, I hope not.

[Lucarex]

Not a chance, either due to the current incumbent (TLG goes out of their way to avoid controversy, whether religious or political) or from an architectural standpoint - there’s been two sets already, the first (rudimentary) in 2010, and the last being released in June 2020, just a few months before you know who got relieved of his job. 

Why would you want another WH anyway? Last one pretty much scratched that itch if you wanted it.

Next year’s set (1st June 2026) is already locked in.

La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

Released to coincide with the official opening of the main structure and central tower. Plus 2026 is also the centenary of Gaudi’s death, and there’s a series of events around this milestone.

Thankfully, NDdeP already paved the way for this type of religious building, known equally for being a global architectural symbol as much as a place of worship. Worth noting that set was also released to coincide with the reopening/restoration in 2024 after the devastating fire.

Sagrada Familia, really? LEGO is copying me. :)

I designed this 3000 pieces model last year...

Well, wouldn’t be the first time, or the last sadly…

Very nice MOC

Probably depends on the outcome of the renovations.

[Lemerbrix]

Does anyone think we will ever get more skylines? Built Singapore and Paris last month and I am in LOVE with these sets

[Calvinw]

Hopefully this doesn't come off as being too negative, but the Paris set that was just revealed is so disappointing to me.  This isn't Architecture at all, and I really feel the line that I've loved for years is goingna direction I can't follow.   To me it looks like nothing more than a larger version of the postcards.  Nothing about that is Architecture to me.  No full building at all.  Just facades with a background and stand.

No need to apologise for being critical.

Whilst agree it has no business being in the Architecture line, personally, I don’t hate it even if it’s basically a deluxe postcard that’s aimed at the clichê-loving tourist market with a hefty price tag for what it is.  Apart from the weird tan-coloured Eiffel Tower. Whoever signed off on that needs to visit an optician. 

I was expecting (*cough* told by someone at TLG) the Paris set would be Sacre-Cœur. I mean technically it’s included but a few tiles in shadow in the background, isn’t quite the same.
