More than 60 artisans have spent over two decades building a castle like it's 1230; it's still not finished

A French historical experiment began building a medieval castle in 1997. Skilled craftspeople use only hand tools and traditional methods for construction. This remarkable project has become a major tourist attraction and research center. Workers learn by studying ruins and experimenting with historical techniques. The castle remains unfinished after over twenty-five years of dedicated work.
