The record has been broken as the brand new largest LEGO set by piece count has been officially revealed today. Taking the crown from 2021's 31203 World Map, 21065 Sagrada Família has been presented, honouring 100 years since the death of the Catalan architect and designer Antoni Gaudí.
The third of four sets from the LEGO Architecture theme in 2026 will be released on the 1st of November 2026, delayed from its original July release date. The 18+ model includes an incredible 12,060 pieces, around 400 pieces more than the previously mentioned LEGO Art World Map. The LEGO Sagrada Família also releases for a substantially higher price than the art decor model, with a recommended retail price of $799.99 / €749.99 / £649.99.
The build of LEGO Architecture 21065 Sagrada Família is a micro-scale recreation of Barcelona's famous basilica - an iconic religious landmark known around the world. The 18+ model is built in the usual Architecture micro-scale, allowing many of the basilica's defining architectural features to be recreated in brick-built LEGO form. The structure is primarily built using tan, sand, light grey and white elements, closely reflecting the colour of the stone used throughout the real building.
At the front of the model is the highly detailed Nativity Façade, one of the most recognisable sections of the basilica. The façade is covered with decorative architectural elements, including columns, arches, towers and intricate sculptural details. Above the façade, several slender spires rise high above the rest of the LEGO building, drawing attention to the cathedral's iconic silhouette.
Moving around the exterior, the model showcases the immense scale and complexity of the basilica's architecture. The walls are constructed using a combination of textured surfaces, angled sections and decorative details that help replicate the appearance of carved stone. Large windows are positioned throughout the building, while transparent coloured elements represent the famous stained-glass windows that fill the real cathedral with vibrant light.
One of the most striking features of the model is its collection of towering spires. Multiple spires extend from different areas of the structure, each carefully shaped to resemble the tapering towers of the real Sagrada Família. Their varying brick-built heights create a dramatic skyline that dominates the completed November 2026 model, which altogether measures over 24 inches (62 cm) high, 18.5 inches (47 cm) wide and 15 inches (39 cm) deep.
The model also incorporates elements of the Passion and Glory façades, ensuring that all major aspects of the landmark are represented. Beneath the cathedral itself sits a detailed display base that represents the surrounding streets and grounds. Trees, pathways and landscaping elements provide context for the structure and help convey its position within the city of Barcelona.
