Is the Notre-Dame de Paris the first time since 1957 that Lego has made a set with a direct and specific religious basis? Not counting Advent calendars or Indiana Jones [edit: or Thor] sets. As far as I can tell at the moment, 1309 Church was the one and only religion-based set. I don’t think the Taj Mahal sets would qualify since the building seems to just a mausoleum and not a temple per se?
I guess you could count 10189/10256 Taj Mahal from 2008/2017.
A cynical person could also say Jabbas Palace 9516 🤭
Jabba is a religious figure?
No but the (Austrian?) Muslim community made a fuzz and wanted the set banned since it reminded them of a mosque and had guns which was an association they obviously didn't want
