France's Medieval Castle Project Enters 28th Year Using Only 13th-Century Methods
A unique historical construction experiment in France has been underway since 1997, with the goal of building a fully authentic medieval castle. Around 60 skilled artisans work exclusively with hand tools and techniques that would have been used in the 13th century. The project serves a dual purpose, functioning both as a major tourist destination and a living research center for medieval construction methods. Workers develop their skills by studying ancient ruins and testing historical building approaches through trial and experimentation. After more than 25 years of dedicated effort, the castle remains a work in progress with no fixed completion date.
