 Guedelon is a current day mediaeval project. A team of fifty people have taken on an extraordinary feat: to build a castle using the same techniques and materials used in the Middle Ages. The wood, stone, earth, sand and clay needed for the castle's construction are all to be found on-site in an abandoned quarry. Work on the site began in 1997 and it is expected to take 25 years to complete.   Link forward 6.6 Further south east Link back 6.4 South of Avallon |
