Forging New Visions: 20 Creative Alternate Builds for the LEGO 21325-1 Medieval Blacksmith

Step into the clang of the anvil and the glow of the forge—not just as a medieval blacksmith, but as an inventive architect reshaping every brick in your 21325-1 set. While the original Medieval Blacksmith invites you to craft horseshoes and weapons, the spare parts within this set hold far more potential. Imagine a windmill’s sails catching the breeze, a bustling town market stocked with fresh produce, or even a dragon’s lair perched atop an armored tower. These re-imagined MOCs showcase how the same plates, tiles, arches, and minifig elements can be repurposed to tell entirely new stories.

With each alternate build, you’ll find inspiration for expanding your medieval world or starting new micro-build adventures. Transform the sturdy wooden beams into watermill paddles, repurpose the smithy’s furnace bricks into a rustic bakery oven, or reinvent the roof tiles as turret battlements. Whether you’re building solo or hosting a collaborative LEGO workshop, these designs will spark creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving, as you navigate piece inventories and experiment with unconventional connections.

Beyond mere tutorials, these models demonstrate fundamental principles of MOC design—balance, symmetry, and texture—while encouraging playful improvisation. Mix and match ideas: pair the “Medieval Tavern” façade with the “Modular Market and Antique Store” interior, or combine the “Dragon Attack” scene with the “Medieval Chapel” backdrop for dramatic effect. The possibilities stretch as far as your imagination (and brick collection) will take you. Ready your hammers, dust off those extra parts, and let’s explore 20 remarkable alternate builds sourced directly from Rebrickable’s 21325-1 Medieval Blacksmith community!
