LEGO unveiled a highly detailed block set of the Notre Dame de Paris that brings architectural history to life and offers a glimpse of the iconic landscape that took nearly 850 years to construct.
Game-block engineering is put to the test as LEGO replicates the Notre Dame cathedral with all its curves and bell towers. The 4,383-piece set will allow LEGO fans to interact with real design elements of the building "and follows the same order of construction and restoration as the actual Notre Dame cathedral." With this in mind, LEGO had captured a historically significant landmark, giving it accuracy through the process of game construction centered on "a historical journey from when the first stone was laid" to transmit historical authenticity.
The brand has specified that this set is designed for display and is part of a larger collection, the 'LEGO Souvenirs for Paris Lovers.'
