It’s a tale as old as time. More than 30 years after Beauty and the Beast first captivated audiences with its sweeping score and enchanted story, LEGO is giving fans a new way to step into the tale — piece by piece. The latest addition to its lineup of Disney-inspired creations is a stunning 2,916-piece replica of the Beast’s castle, a buildable homage that’s just as magical as the film that inspired it.
This new set isn’t just for kids — or even just for adults. It’s clearly designed with Disney enthusiasts of all ages in mind, from nostalgic millennials to serious collectors. And if you’ve ever dreamed of waltzing through the ballroom or sneaking a peek at the Enchanted Rose, this model lets you do just that (albeit in miniature).
Price: $279.99
The castle itself is a visual feast. With four levels and a vibrant color scheme, it mirrors the fantasy architecture of the original movie while packing in some clever functionality. Builders will find a ballroom complete with a spinning dance floor, a dining room where platters actually rotate (a playful nod to “Be Our Guest”), and a grand staircase that can be removed for easy access. And tucked away in the tower? The iconic rose under glass, a crucial piece of the story — and a pretty great conversation starter for any shelf or display.
Naturally, the set also comes with a full cast of characters to bring the castle to life. Among the ten included figures are Belle and Beast, along with Gaston, LeFou, and Maurice. Supporting favorites like Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and even Fifi the feather duster make their appearances, too. Each comes with detailed accessories — think magic mirror, book, teacart, and lantern — offering plenty of room for re-creating scenes or just showing off your love for the film.
At just over 13 inches tall and 21 inches wide, the finished model makes a bold statement, whether displayed in a home office or part of a collector’s Disney-themed shelf. And while it’s geared toward older builders, there’s definitely enough charm packed into this castle to turn assembly into a shared experience — maybe even a family build project for a rainy weekend.
For younger builders (or those who want a slightly smaller challenge) there’s also a 505-piece version of the castle available on Amazon, featuring additional characters like Philippe the horse and the Chef, plus some fun little details like a torn portrait of the Prince.
In the end, whether you’re a longtime Disney devotee or just someone who appreciates a good LEGO set with storybook flair, this release is a beautiful blend of nostalgia, craft, and whimsy. The magic may be in the story, but this time, it’s built one brick at a time.
The Beauty and the Beast castle is available exclusively through LEGO.com and The Disney Store online, and given the popularity of past releases (and Disney’s passionate fanbase), it probably won’t stay on shelves for long.
