The medieval period fascinates and makes us want to tell a multitude of adventures. I myself come from Normandy, a region that was marked by the Viking invasion and then the reign of William the Brave who, in 1066, crossed the Channel and took part in the famous battle of Hastings to regain the throne of England. In Normandy, in Caen and Falaise where I grew up, his huge fortresses remain. And there are still many houses that have preserved a slightly more recent medieval style, with facades composed of half-timbering. I swam in these universes which inspired me and still inspire me, and I want to share them with LEGO bricks.
Lion Knights' Castle, Medieval Blacksmith... and Medieval Street can be your decor!
The Medieval Street consists of two main buildings: one with warm coloured walls, brick and ochre, and a blue roof; the other with grey stone walls and an orange tiled roof. These two buildings are linked by a footbridge, the colour of which is mostly brown to evoke wood. This footbridge spans a street, making the ensemble the crossroads of a medieval town.
The vegetation is not left out, since a tree grows in the alley and foliage covers certain sections of the walls.
The whole construction is spread over 3 levels, divided into four sections, the top three of which are removable. Accessibility and playability are thus allowed thanks to an open back and this modularity.
Inside the first building, with its warm colours, you can find on the ground floor a tavern with on one side a counter to order and on the other a room with two tables where you can sit and eat.
On the second level of this building, the characters can take advantage of a heated room to wash up near a fireplace.
Finally, on the third level of the building, there is a room with a four-poster bed.
In the second building, the ground floor is divided by a narrow passage. On one side there is a cell with a wall that can slide down to allow the prisoner to escape through the narrow passage; on the other side there is a shop.
On the second level there is a kitchen on one side and a hayloft on the other.
Finally, on the third level of this building, there is a study to practise witchcraft.
Each room in both buildings is full of details that will intrigue those who look - when the set is on display - or feed your stories. These details include the puddle of water overflowing from the basin in the heated room, a grimoire tucked away on a shelf in the study, a diamond hidden in the barrel in the hayloft, a piece of cheese hidden under the bench in the cell.
I hope this set will inspire you as much stories and adventure as it inspires me.
