The Sagrada Família has been under construction for over 140 years. Surely close to a record for contemporary cathedral construction. The church was the vision of architect and designer, Antoni Gaudí, who passed away 100 years ago this year.
Today, The LEGO Group reveal their largest set yet (by part count): a brick built version of the Sagreda Família. It will be released on November 1, but will be available for preorder from today.
Set 21065 LEGO Architecture: The Sagrada Família is priced at $AUD1299.99 / £649.99/ €749.99/ $USD799.99 and has 12060 pieces. It measures over 24 in. (62cm) high, 18.5 in. (47 cm) wide, and 15 in. (39 cm) deep
Read on for the press release…
To commemorate the centennial year of Antoni Gaudí’s passing, the LEGO Group today reveals the LEGO® Architecture Sagrada Família set – a detailed new model inspired by one of the world’s most recognisable 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. 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 centrepiece 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, displayworthy 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.
The LEGO Architecture Sagrada Família (21065) is available for pre-order from today, and goes on sale globally from 1st November 2026, priced at £649.99/€749.99/ $799.99. Discover more and purchase at LEGO.com/SagradaFamilia or visit your nearest LEGO Store.
The Knoller in chief was fortunate to visit this landmark a couple of years ago, and has become very excited when I showed her these photos. However, it will be very difficult to portray some of the level of detail that can be seen in the real church, as you look closer and closer at patterned doors and discover hidden details
This is certainly an amazing model, full of detail. But is it one you will have space to display it in? Let me know in the comments below.

I would be curious to know how much this set weights in box and how that compares to the two Star Wars sets that where $1300, which if I remember reading on Brickset, both set the scales at approximately 13.5kg each in box. It’s all well and good saying it’s the biggest Lego set ever, but I’m guessing there are a lot of 1×1’s!! 75192 has 7541 pieces so a lot less than this new set, but still, that set has a lot of weight to it.
I was careful to use the term ‘highest part count’ where the choice was up to me. LEGO marketing love a bit of hyperbole where they can. But you prompt an interesting question: what metrics can we use to define ‘biggest set’?
Back soon…
More curious as I love Architecture sets and this is beautiful, but the price! Hopefully it lands at least at Myer or David Jones and we can get it 20% off, or more if really lucky. Would just like to know how the value adds up against other $1300 sets so I can justify buying it if I can lol!
Thank-you for the response 🙂
Apart from the magnificence of it all, one word keeps coming to mind – ‘dust’.
