Guédelon castle

I used the search and couldn’t find anything about this.
And then again I’m not sure if this is the right category for this topic but oh well…

So, there is this medieval castle being build at the moment in the middle of France called Guédelon.
They use medieval methods to do everything so the progress is slow. But boy is that fascinating.

I’ve been following the progress for years now, I hope I can visit the site someday.
But anyhow, here is 1h30m long documentary (french language only) about the castle:

If you watch the video you can see how these constructions are made in autentic way even though you would not understand french language (like I don’t).

I’m sure the developers of this game are aware of this fantastic project, but I thought I’d share it anyway.

I hope someone finds this interesting.

I’ve been wondering what that castle was called.

Anyways, I heard it’s in its 25th year of construction?

It’s a beautiful Castle indeed. I manage to go there last year (I am French) and you can visit it.
They are working hard week after week with historical techniques (13th century), It is really a
great project.
