To commemorate the centennial year of Antoni Gaudí’s passing, the LEGO Group today reveals the #21065 LEGO Architecture Sagrada Família set – a detailed new model inspired by one of the world’s most recognizable and ambitious buildings. Designed to reflect both the scale and spirit of Gaudí’s vision, the set offers builders an immersive way to explore the architecture of one of the most complex and celebrated buildings ever conceived.
The new set captures the evolving story of Barcelona’s most iconic landmark, with the building steps mirroring the basilica’s actual construction sequence. The build begins with the foundational Apse and Crypt, moves through Gaudí’s original Nativity façade and the dramatic Passion façade, before rising into the grand naves, Western Sacristy and six iconic towers. The final stage brings the model together with the Eastern Sacristy and the Glory façade.
Altogether, this build features an impressive 12,060 LEGO elements, making it the largest LEGO building set ever released by piece count. The final build is over 24 in. (62cm) high, 18.5 in. (47 cm) wide, and 15 in. (39 cm) deep.
One unique detail is the striking stained-glass window effect, designed to echo the unique way light moves through the real basilica. Once complete, the model stands as a striking display piece, designed to be admired from every angle. This is a true centerpiece for travel lovers, history enthusiasts, and architecture aficionados alike.
Rok Žgalin Kobe, LEGO Architecture Designer, said: “We felt an immense responsibility to do justice to the Sagrada Família through this design. Our goal was to honour Gaudí’s vision with the utmost respect, capturing the rhythm of the basilica’s construction, its extraordinary complexity and ambition, and translating that into an immersive building experience. This is not only the largest LEGO set ever, but a model of one of the most ambitious architectural works in the world. Balancing scale and precision, while remaining faithful to a living monument that has been evolving for more than a century, was a unique design challenge – and one we’re incredibly proud of.”
The set joins the LEGO Architecture portfolio, which celebrates iconic buildings from around the world through detailed, display-worthy models for adults. Builders can further enhance the experience through the LEGO Builder app, which offers intuitive 3D instructions, progress tracking and the ability to save builds, turning the building process into a guided, immersive journey.
