The Dowager Countess may not know what a weekend is, but she knows a good LEGO set when she sees one.
This 4,711-piece building set features the iconic castle from the Downton Abbey TV series and movies, based on the real-life Highclere Castle. The set features a modular design, and builders can lift off the top level to explore the kitchen, the servants’ hall, and Mr. Carson’s office, while the upper floor features the grand dining room, the main hall, and the library.
