Deep in the forests of central France lies a building site like no other. Here, a team of workers are

building a 13th-century castle. They wear clothes from the period and use only the techniques and

materials that were available at the time. The site was very carefully chosen, as everything needed to

build the castle, from stone and wood to water, had to be close by. The castle is called Guedelon and

work on it began in 1997. It is not expected to finish until well into the 2020s, at the earliest. Guedelon

is owned by Michel Guyot, who first had the idea for the project while repairing another castle. His

aim is to solve some of the mysteries about how such castles were built. Each year, the team at

Guedelon draw up building plans based on research at other 13th-century castles. A group of architects

then studies these plans and will only permit building work to continue when they are happy with

them.

Many history professors are also involved and this has helped both the project and them. By watching

the builders, the professors have discovered a huge amount about the human side of castle building.

Today, Guedelon employs some 50 people, of whom 35 work on the building site itself. Some were

already quailed but others have learned their skills on site. The project has also become a major tourist

attraction, welcoming around 300,000 people every year. And though the crowds of 21st-century

visitors with their cameras and bright umbrellas do rather

put a damper

on the 13th-century

atmosphere of the place, they are essential to the project. For the past decade, all the work at Guedelon

has been paid for by entrance fees and shop sales.
