An archaeological experiment to recreate a 13th-century castle started in 1997. It is being built using only tools, materials, and techniques known in medieval France. All handling, transport, and masonry work is completed with manual labour. Construction is expected to be completed in 2029. The construction site is open to the public and can be visited to collect funds for further construction. There are no train or bus connections to the site.
