  • LEGO® 21061 – Notre Dame

    ‘The Master’ from Denmark…

    Of course, ‘the master’ 😉 from Denmark cannot be missing from MBrickz: With LEGO® 21061 – Notre Dame, LEGO® brings another masterpiece from the Architecture series to the building table.
    The iconic Parisian landmark has been impressively recreated in minute detail with 4,383 pieces and perfectly captures the charm of the real cathedral.


    Challenging building experience for true architecture enthusiasts

    Whether you’re a collector, architecture fan or simply a lover of building bricks, LEGO® 21061 Notre Dame offers a challenging building experience that rewards patience, precision and enthusiasm in equal measure.
    In this review, I’ll show you how the set performs during construction, what highlights it offers and whether it’s actually worth buying.


    The price is steep

    The price, however, is less appealing: in the LEGO® shop, it costs €229.99 – which is quite steep. Fortunately, the set is currently available at Smyths Toys for €172.99 €149.99 – which makes it feel much more affordable.


    Instructions with minor weaknesses

    A minor setback during construction: the English instructions, with their dark background, are more suited to those with eagle eyes. However, the LEGO® Builder app offers a German version, which makes the whole process relaxed and enjoyable again.


    Conclusion:

    A beautiful display set that shows why the Architecture series is so popular. The price and instructions cost it a few sympathy points – but the bottom line is that Notre Dame remains a real eye-catcher for the shelf and is therefore the MBrickz Set of the Month for October 2025.
