The Guédelon project is really helping us learn a great deal about old building techniques.

I would love it if they expanded the concept to other ages.

Of course a 30 some year project is a big undertaking and costly.

I was looking at the video and all the people on site. It looked VERY expensive to me, even if they are all volunteers. It’s nard to imagine so many nobles had the money and there was so much skilled manpower around in the 12th and 13th centuries to build those castles.

Of course, those minor castles and large estates were nothing compared to the Catholic cathedral building going on at the time.
