Amazing place to see a medieval fortress under construction using the tools and methods of the era. You can even have a meal with recipes from the time as well.

Building a medieval castle from scratch. A living history project. Very interesting.

Was shut- but I'm sure it would be awesome had it been open.

It is an experience to make. If you like medieval history then you will get into the atmosphere. The guided tour will give you the best insight in all the details and info that otherwise you won't be able to value. Suggested.

Visited early June 2018. Frankly, with 5 weeks of travel through 5 countries, this was the most memorable experience, better than all the old castles put together, and all the over-crowded expensive tourist traps. We could have spent a week here watching the craftsmen and learning fantastic lessons from the 13th century. Absolutely should not be missed. The perfect visit would be soon before it becomes too completed. I don't know where else on earth anything like this could be experienced!
