LEGO set 10237, The Tower of Orthanc, represents Saruman’s tower from The Lord of the Rings. Released in 2013 under the The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings theme, it contains 2361 pieces and 5 minifigures.
The Tower of Orthanc focuses on one of the defining locations of Isengard. Within the The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings theme, it stands apart as an architectural subject tied closely to Saruman, rather than as a travel scene or an open battlefield. Its dark vertical form makes the setting immediately identifiable.
The build uses 2361 pieces to capture the angular tower shape while providing interior areas for character placement and storytelling. The included minifigures are Mordor Orc, Uruk-Hai - Helmet With Hand-print, Gandalf The Grey - Dark Bluish Gray Cape, Grima Wormtongue and Saruman. Together, they link the model directly to the events surrounding Orthanc.
This set is suited to Lord of the Rings collectors, display-focused builders and fans assembling an Isengard scene. Among sets from the same theme, it is best understood as a location model with strong architectural emphasis and a character selection centered on Saruman’s sphere of influence.
