EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the picturesque village of Treigny, in the beautiful region of Burgundy, France, stands an extraordinary architectural marvel that defies the passage of time - Guedelon Castle. This medieval masterpiece is not a relic of the past, but a living testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Middle Ages. The castle's construction began in 1997, and since then, a dedicated team of volunteers and skilled artisans have been working tirelessly to build it using only the techniques and materials that would have been available during the Middle Ages. The site is a unique blend of history and innovation, where tradition meets modern technology. The castle's imposing structure rises majestically from the rolling hills, its walls made of local limestone, and its timber frames intricately carved and fitted together without the use of nails. The moat that surrounds it is filled with water, and the drawbridge and portcullis are operational, adding to the authenticity of the experience. Visitors to Guedelon Castle are transported back in time, immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of medieval life. They can watch as blacksmiths forge iron, stonemasons chisel away at the castle walls, and carpenters shape timber beams. The castle's construction is not just a spectacle to behold, but an educational experience that brings history to life. Guedelon Castle is more than just a tourist attraction; it is a labor of love and a tribute to the past. It is a reminder of the skill and determination of the people who built the castles of Europe, and a testament to the enduring allure of the Middle Ages. Whether you are a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, a visit to Guedelon Castle is a must.
